Lepida Sergii Galbae uxor. VII. Heu quae tam rigidi potuit vis effera fati E Sergi charo me rapuisse sinu; Quem nunquam vinclo excussa Agrippina iugali Pervicit cineri destituisse fidem: Et tamen illa suas artes tentaverat omnes, Nec minus et vim collegerat iste suam. Inieci desiderium quod amata marito Ipsa mei vita caelibe gessit agens. Aegidius Sadeler S.C.M. sculp. Marcus Sadeler excud. Lettering in four elegiac couplets below the portrait

Notes

One print in a set of twelve pairs of prints of Roman emperors and empresses
