Elizabethan Proverb Commentary: Here is today's proverb commentary, this time by Conybeare: Ex tripode: When we speake of thinges which are veri true, and not to be doubted as it were spoken of goddes owne mouthe.
Today's image is of the greedy women and her fat chicken: 982. Avara et Gallina. Vidua habebat avem, quae ei quotidie unum pareret ovum. Largius ergo istam incepit alere, existimans fore ut, abundantius nutrita, duo pareret ova. Avis contra, nimiis alimentis facta obesior, ne unum quidem, ut antea, eniti potuit ovum. Qui maiora concupiscunt, parva quae possident saepissime solent amittere. (source)
