Le captif pour sa gourmandise.
Le Rat regnant au cellier, rongeant tout,
Des huystres vit baillantes par ung bout:
Sa barbe y mit: & faulx os il atrappe,
Lesquelz touchéz feirent tomber la trappe,
Et le larron en prison hont tenu,
Qui par soy mesme en sa fosse est venu.[1]
Plusieurs se rendent serfz, captifz aulx bonnes
maisons: seullement pour les bons morseaulx, Plu-
sieurs aussi font leur fosse avec les dens, se procurans
mort avant eage, par exces de gourmandise.

In garrulum & gulosum.
Against a noisy and gluttonous fellow
EMBLEMA XCV.
Voce boat torva, praelargo est gutture, rostrum
Instar habet nasi, multiforisque tubae.
Deformem rabulam, addictum ventrique gulaeque
Signabit, volucer cùm Truo pictus erit.
It screams with a harsh cry, it has an enormous throat, a beak like a spout or a many-holed trumpet. The pelican bird, when painted, will indicate an ugly ranter, enslaved to lust and belly.
