Lettering

Angelus exilio miseros castigat acerbo, raptaque sed sero poma tulisse dolent. Gene: 3.24. Nic: Visscher excud. ... Lettering continues: Als Adam en sÿn vrouw door d'overdroeve val./ In ongehoorsaemheyt haer schaemen ende suchten,/ Dryst Godt haer uyt den hoff, maer geest dees troost in't vluchte./ Dat Vrouwen saet 't serpent den kop vertreden sal ... The woman's tempted by the serpent's wiles/ To eate the fruite, s[h]e straight the man beguiles,/ A cherub chaseth them with sword and fire/ Out of faire Edens garden, in great ire [Contains the same verses in French and German].
