Original source (English)
LIttle wormes, are care, and anger, and oftentimes displeasure, which one shall have by his wife, or familiars. Hornets are ill people, which will assault and discredit the dreamer: to Taverns it signifies, that their wine shall spill, and sowre: for such great flies, love and desire vineger.
