Envy as it is perceived in The Farie Queene:
    Envy arrives upon a "rauenous wolfe" (stanza 30 book 1) who is chewing a poisoned toad in its mouth.  This wolf is chewing on its own mouth while the poison runs down his chin.  Envy would cry at any time for no reason and was only happy in death or destruction.
