Lettering

Ducitur infelix aevo confectus Acoetes: / pectora nunc foedans pugnis, nunc unguibus ora: / Sternitur et toto projectus corpore terrae. / Ducunt et Rutulo perfusos sanguine currus. / Post bellator equus positis insignibus Aethon / It lacrymans guttisq(ue) humectat grandibus ora. / Substitit Aeneas gemituque haec addidit alto: / Nos alias hinc ad lacrymas eadem horrida belli / Fata vocant: salve aeternum mihi, maxume Palla, / Aeternumque vale. Dno. Francisco Boteler equiti aurato tabula merito votiva. F. Cleyn in. ; P.Lombart scu[l]psit Londini English lettering on reverse
