Lettering

Terwijl den suffert vast van 't hooft de pleister licht / Schreeuwt Jorden door 't gevoel, en besien door 't gezicht: / Maar, zwijgt, roept Meester Plomp; mijn zalven zijn gezont, / Zij bijten in de beurs, en smerten op de wont. F. Verwilt pinxit. Jan Houwens excudit. H. Bary sculpsit 1658.
