Quum tibi traijceres castum Lucretia pectus, Parce pudor, mihi ait, Parce pudor mihi ait. Integer ille mhi semper constabit; at illud Quod vim perpessum est, iam quoque vim patitur. Nec te, ne iacta Tarquini perdite. Nam te Victorem vincit victa virum mulier. D. Jacobo Kempenerio, pictoriae artis, inprimis Florentiae, et praesertim a Jodoco Wingenio inventae et excultae admiratori, amicitiae ergo D.D. Crispian(us) Passae sculp. et excud.
