Lettering

Hic lector vana cernis sub imagine verum: quanquam, nescio, quae diva latere velit. Hoc etenim monstri genus omnes fallit, et omnes Aut Venere aut nugis fallimur. O miseros. Lettering continues: Non miser Actaeon fit solus praeda suismet Infelix canibus; sed sua quemque premunt. Non sic adversa est sors, adversarius hostis, ut sibi quisque suis noxius est studiis. Genere, virtute industria nobili D. Mattheo Hopffero civi augustano, hac ipsa solertia, et propinquitate mystica coniuncto: hac quacunq(ue) officii specie animi gratitudinem declarabat Iosephus Heintz. Iosephus Heintz inventor. Sac. C. M.tis pict. Egidius Sadeler sculp.
