Invidia.
Envy
Emblema lxxi.
Squallida vipereas manducans femina carnes,
Cuique dolent oculi,[1] quaeque suum cor edit,
Quam macies & pallor habent, spinosáque gestat
Tela manu: talis pingitur Invidia.[2]
A filthy woman chewing the flesh of vipers, whose eyes give her pain, who gnaws her own heart, in the grip of emaciation and pallor, carrying prickly sticks in her hand - thus is Envy depicted.
ELegans invidiae descriptio ex effectis, adiunctis-
que: quibus ostenditur eum qui laboret invidia,
virulentis cogitationibus pasci, aliorum prosperis
successibus ingemiscere, animum moerore confice-
re, corpus macie & pallore confectum reddere, acu
leis maledicis alios insectari.

C’Est icy le pourtrait d’Envie la chagrine,
Qui s’appaste & repaist de serpens venimeux:
Qui son coeur ronge, & pleure ayant larmes ez yeux,
Tant maigre que rien plus, tant defaicte en sa mine.
Hideuse à voir ell’ est, & en fort mauvais train,
Un baston espineux tousjours tient en sa main.
ICy est une belle description pour repre-
senter les effects & circonstances d’Envie,
ou il est monstré que l’envieux se paist de
cogitations empoisonnees, est marri de la
bonne fortune des autres, travaille son es-
prit de fascherie, rend son corps tout sec &
pasle, attaque les autres par poinctures de
mesdisance.
