Inscription: Recto: lower right, brown ink, ‘AvD’ in monogram type 2: .ii. TvT AvD; lower margin, brown ink: par une ingenieuse soupplesse d’esprit, Ulysse et ses gens sortent de captivité, s’estans liez l’un l’autre sous / les moutons de leur cruel hoste. il se voit par là combien est veritable ce commun dire[st ?], que l’inv / ention est la creature de le necessité, et que la nature a cette coustume, de reveiller les sens / les plus assoupis, pour leur faire appliquer les derniers remèdes aux derniers maux. [By an ingenious versatility of spirit, Ulysses and his companions escape from captivity by tying themselves together under their cruel host’s sheep. One sees how true as is commonly said that invention is the mother of necessity and that nature has the habit of awakening the dormant senses to apply the latest remedies to the latest evils.]
