Avariˊce

Avariˊce is represented by a hideous, pale-fac’d old Woman, with a discontented and dejected Aspect, and a swoln Belly, upon she lays one of her Hands as if in Pain, and in the other she gripes a Purse close ty’d, on which her Eyes are fix’d; by her Side stands a meager Wolf, as an Emblem of Voracity. Her Paleness proceeds from her Envy, which torments her to see her Neighbours richer than herself; her Eyes are fix’d on her Purse, it being her chief Delight. The Wolf denotes the voracious Humour of the colvetous, who would have other Mens Goods by Hook or by Crook. Plate II. Fig. 9.
