Lettering: Quis sacer iste chorus, sacro decoratus ab ipso. Pneumate nu Pallas? Num Musae? Aut ora Minervae? Abest pierides nullae hic: Verum optima credens firma Fides, Spes alta petens, Charitasque et alumnae, Herculeas imitata manus: Aequa omnia lance. Discutiens Sophiae comes it quae temperat omnes.
