THE mouse, that longe did feede on daintie crommes,
And safelie search'd the cupborde and the shelfe:
At lengthe for chaunge, vnto an Oyster commes,
Where of his deathe, he guiltie was him selfe:
The Oyster gap'd, the Mouse put in his head,
Where he was catch'd, and crush'd till he was dead.
The Gluttons fatte, that daintie fare deuoure,
And seeke about, to satisfie theire taste:
And what they like, into theire bellies poure,
This iustlie blames, for surfettes come in haste:
And biddes them feare, their sweete, and dulcet meates,
For oftentimes, the same are deadlie baites.
- O prodiga rerum
Luxuries nunquam paruo contenta paratu,
Et quaesitorum terra pelagóque ciborum
Ambitiosa fames, & lautae gloria mensae.
Felo de se.
Isidorus lib. 1. de
summo bono.
Gulae saturitas
nimia aciem men-
tis obtundit in-
geniumque euer-
tere facit.
