Inscription: recto, left margin: Hos ocus, haec ora, refert viridante senecta / WESSELIUS, Populi, Palladis, Urbis amor, / A quo Candorem poterat Sibi sumere Candor, / Virtutem Virtus , Religioque Fidem. / Hunc, pia si moveant aeternae gaudia vitae, / Et sacer inflammet corda salutis amor, / Hunc audite Virum juvenesque senesq, perennem / E Siloes puro fonte ministrat aquam. / A.VAN ROYEN. //
Inscription: recto, right margin: Dit wezentlyk gelaet in d'uiterlyke trekken / Van jeugdige ouderdom zo duidelyk t'ontdekken / Vertoont WESSELIUS, zo veel de kunst vermag. / Doch om dien grooten Man te zetten in den dag, / En dus de gaeven Gods, die in hem't hert verrukken, / In haer inwendig schoon naer waerden uit te drukken, / Geeft hy zelf door zyn'mond en Schriften in't geheel / van zyn verheeven geest het schoonste tafereel. / HENR. SNAKENBURG. //
