Afflictum terræ natum mæstissima mater/ Exanimenque videns concidet exanimis./ Scilicet huic vita, et vitæ fuit ille levamen,/ Cum vivo vixit; cum pereunte perit ... Lettering continues: "Hic SOL: hac LUNA est, et sole nitente nitebat,/ Nunc etiam merito sole ruente ruit. Ambrosius Ficinus Mediolanensis inventor. Sereniss. Bavar: ducis. sculp: Raph. Sadeler fecit. Cum privilegio summi pont; et S. Cae. Maestatis"
