Recto: lower right, black ink, ‘AvD’ in monogram: 57.TvT.AvD; lower margin, black ink: Les mutines font la paix à l’advantage d’Ulÿsse, contraints à cela par le secours que Minerve luÿ donne, et / le foudre de Jupiter. ce qui monstre, qu’après une grande tourmente suit un grand calme, et que Dieu sçait / Abaisser l’orgueuil des rebelles, qui ne sont jamais si foibles, qu’au temps qu’il se croyent les plus forts. [The rebels make peace to Ulysses’ advantage, constrained by the help given to him by Minerva and by Jupiter’s thunderbolt. This shows how a great battle is followed by great calm, and that God knows how to humble the pride of rebels, who are never so weak when they believe themselves strongest.]
