Lettering

Conspicilla. Debilitati oculi si vis succurrere cautus, conspicilla pares, hic dabit usus opem, Praeservant etiam visum, quem viribus augent, Grataqz praesertim lumina sunt senibus. ... Lettering continues in German: 'Die Brillen. Wann in den Augen sich die Schärfe will verliehren, So schafft dem Mangel man durch gute Brillen Rath; Man kan auch das Gesicht durch selbe praeserviren, Besonders kommen sie dem Alter wol zu stratt' Bears number: 10
