SECTION LXVI. _Second side_. Gluttony. A woman in a turban, with a

jewelled cup in her right hand. In her left, the clawed limb of a bird,

which she is gnawing. Inscribed "GULA SINE ORDINE SUM."

Spenser's Gluttony is more than usually fine:

"His belly was upblownt with luxury,

And eke with fatnesse swollen were his eyne,

And like a crane his necke was long and fyne,

Wherewith he swallowed up excessive feast,

For want whereof poore people oft did pyne."

He rides upon a swine, and is clad in vine-leaves, with a garland of

ivy. Compare the account of Excesse, above, as opposed to Temperance.
