In garrulum & gulosum.
Against a noisy and gluttonous fellow
EMBLEMA XCVI.
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.
