Inscription present: A poem by Caspar Barleus

  • Text: Cuius adorandum docuit Facundia Christum, / Et populis veram pandit ad astra viam, / Talis erat Sylvi facies. audivimus illum / Amstelijs isto civibus ore loqui. / Hoc Frisijs praecepta dedit; pietasquae. Severo / Relligioquae. diu vindice tuta stetit. / Praeluxit, veneranda suis vertutibus, aetas. / Erudytquae. ipsos fossa senecta viros. / Simplicitatis amans fucum contemsit honesti, / Nec sola voluit fronte placere bonis. / Sic statuit: Jesus vita meliore doceri / Rectius, et vocum fulmina posse minus. / Amstela, sis memor extincti. qui condidit urbem / Moribus hanc ipso fulsijt ille Deo. / C. Barleus.
