Section: Gola. View all emblems in this section.

Quanto sia dannosa la gola.
How harmful greed is.
Il Topo avezzo a roder le vivande,
Un di mal di mangiar satio e contento
Un’Ostriga
trovo capace e
grande,
Che a caso tenea aperto il monumento.
Ei v’entra
audace, e
cerca in quelle bande:
Ella tosto si chiude, e’l
serra drento.
Cosi la
gola’che
meschin condusse,
A perpetua prigion sciocco l’addusse.

Forza della natura.
The power of Nature.
Pan mezzo capra, & huomo, a noi dimostra
La virtute, e’l
poter de la Natura
In sino a l’ombilico
ha faccia nostra,
Ch’č; del miglior di noi fine e misura.
Il resto č capra, che dinota e
mostra
Che le spetie mantien la costei cura
D’huomini, e d’animali; o
perche al sommo
Sta la ragion, che sol distingue l’huomo.
