MADE IT.

Iac. Matham, Sculptor

That noble Syrian, not the last in the healing art,
Bearing the mystical signs of the bull upon his brow,
Fashioned a divine work and with learned tempering
Of colors dared to set forth the sacred Countenances,

To a man of proven integrity, D. Maximilian Laignier [etc.],
Matham dedicates and presents this work of Goltzius, engraved on copper (the archetype of which, noted by the pen of Goltzius, he had given [him] to imitate and publish as a singular favor), as a sign of grateful spirit.

And to enclose the divine within brief tablets.
The souls in heaven perceived it, and summoning songs,
The brethren gather for the new spectacles of the paean;
And they renew praises again for the newborn Christ.
Schrevelius.
