Effigies Paraselci medici celeberrimi. Edura fortis fata refringere / Ut docta callens jura Machaonis; / Artesque Phoeboeas salubri / Mente Paracelsus elaborat. / Eheu laborans; nec tamen irrita / Decreta reddet: lucida perbrevi / Mors decolorabit, facemque / Purpuream solvit favilla. P. P. Rub pinxit. W. Hollar sculp.
