Echo of the Rosicrucian Colloquy (1622) - Page 10

A horizontal ornamental band consists of repeating floral and scroll motifs.

After the rains, a beautiful day; after the clouds, the Sun,

original: "Post pluvias formosa dies, Post nubila Phœbus,"

After tears, finally a happier hour arrives.

original: "Post lacrymas tandem lætior hora venit."

After the darkness, the sun shines always:

After mourning, much weeping, and crashing,

Comes cheerfulness, great joy, and laughter.

A horizontal ornamental band consists of repeating floral and scroll motifs, identical to the one above.
