unten:» IX. Si te tam miserum factura haec sarcina tande,/Aule fuit regni; quid tibi pulsus Otho est/Mens hominum euentus, fortisque ignara latentis/Exitiosa boni tincta colere petit.// Quid tam suspecti hoc habuit tum culme honoris./Quid non at potius turbinis, atque mali?/Te carcer tulit infelix laquesque reiunxit,/Factusque es cribrum, et carnificina miser./Ægidius Sadeler S.C.M. sculp.-Titianus inuentor«
