Inscription: Recto: lower right, black ink: TvT 19; lower margin, black ink, ‘AvD’ in monogram: Quelques pernicieux que soient les enchantements de Circé, Ulysse s’en garantit par le conseil de Mercure, et / s’aydant de la racine de molly, pourvoit à sa deliverance et à celle de ses compagnons il est declaré par là, qu’en / quelques danger que soient les hommes, ils s’en peuvent tirer aisement, quand ils suivent les inspirations du Ciel, d’où leur / viennent de salutaires remedes, lors qu’ils y pensent le moins. AvD [However pernicious the charms of Circe, Ulysses is protected by the advice of Mercury, and with the help of the moly root, provided for his deliverance and that of his companions. It is stated by that, that whatever danger faced by men, they can easily escape when they follow the inspirations of Heaven, from whom come salutary remedies, when they least expect it.]
