Bullatas nugas, fumasque gaudia mundi, si nescis, haec te picta tabella docet. Hic fluit in laxa petulans bombyce puella, cuius inexhaustas area flagelat opes. Cui mundus placet, & gemmarum linea dives: et Myos archetypi, mentoreique scyphi. O curaas hominum! fumo, bullisque caducis, dum ludit, vanam se probat, immo, nihil. P.S. A. Bloemaert inventor. W. Swanenb. sculp. et exc. Anno 1611.
