Effigies Paraselci medici celeberrimi. Edura fortis fata refringere / Ut docta callens jura Machaonis; / Artesque Phoeboeas salubri / Mente Paracelsus elaborat. / Eheu laborans; nec tamen irrita / Decreta reddet: lucida perbrevi / Mors decolorabit, facemque / Purpuream solvit favilla. P. P. Rub pinxit. W. Hollar sculp.

[State in which John Overton's imprint has been added below Peter Stent's after Stent's death in 1665, and Gaywood's name has been replaced by Hollar's].
