AVARITIA.
Avarice.
Sempre affamato e pien di sete stassi
Tantalo appresso a i
frutti, e l’onde
chiare,
Cosi l’avaro
aspro nemico a sui,
Goder non suol,
ne goder lascia altrui.

Avarice.
LXV.
Tantale en l’eau plongé, est
de la soif pressé.
Link to an image of this page [O8v p224]
Ayant pommes au nez est de faim harassé.
C’est à toy povre avare, à qui cecy
s’addresse,
Qui ayant tant de biens, en amasses sans cesse,
Qui souvent d’aspre faim &
grieve soif languis,
Ne voulant entamer tant de thresors acquis.
Commentaires.
La convoitise des biens mondains, si elle n’est as-
saisonnee de quelque contentement, est beacoup plus
dangereuse, qu’une extreme povreté. Tantale ne peut
appaiser sa soif, quoy qu’il soit entouré d’eaux:
ny
estaindre sa faim, quoy qu’il soit environné de pom-
mes. C’est le vray type des avares, qui se
rendans be-
listres en leur abondance, parmi leurs grands biens
souffrent les maux de la pauvreté.
