Lettering
Continuò subeunt incerta pericula mille,/ Pauperies ditem involuit, rigidæqúe catastæ:/ Hic perit amne, cadit ferro, flamma interit ille./ Quisq; tamen vitæ producere quærimus umbram. ...
Lettering continues: "De maux un monde enontre nous deuore:/ L'un s'appourist, l'autre enchaisné se voit,/ Tel par eau, glaiue, ou feu la mort recoit,/ Et toutesfois chascun veut vivre encore."
