Lettering: Le centaure nesse enleve de Janire. Hercule etant sorty de ce fleuve rapide, entend crier sa femme, et voit le tour perfide du centaur amourex qui la reporte au bord; mais le ravisseur l'esperance est trompeé; car dans le sang de l'hydre une fleche trempeé de la part du hero luy va donner la mort. Guide pinxit; Audran sculp.
