Summary edit

Description
English: The covetous and avaricious Villain.--From a Miniature in "Proverbes et Adages, &c," Manuscript in the National Library of Paris, with this legend:
"Je suis icy levant les yeulx
Eu ce haut lieu des attendens,
En convoitant pour avoir mieulx
Prendre la lune avec les dens."
("Even on this lofty height
We yet look higher,
As nothing will satisfy us
But to clutch the moon.")
