Pieter Jacobsz. Paets

Inscriptions and textual elements: Ætatis. 30./C V S. Inscriptions and textual elements: On the Figures of PIETER IACOBS. PAETS, by him/ assembled, cut at his expense, by C.V. Shechem./ A wise man vroet does not judge. Before he understands, / A fool with mockery judges the good to be evil, / Doubts your power or reason at best, / It is then nor for the deed that one must esteem the will. Inscriptions and textual elements: Berispers hart geneckt, ghy must oock overlegghen/ That al too grooten bergh light tusschen doen en feggen,/ Eer ghy een vry ghemoet vertsaeght met snappen koen./ Many have monts genoech, om iemants werck te laken:/ Maer niet wil hants genoch, wat betere selfs te maken./ Het seggen is maer wint : ick houde veel van doen. Inscriptions and textual elements: As ghy (O faithful friend) who gives us your gifts,/ So long from you vergaert, verspaert, and now unearth/ V milde dear deught is true gift and doctrine/ Ghy weet waer dat ghy 't geeft, ghy geeft daer't usefulness can baren,/ And does by your daed, u FAEM to Heaven sail,/ And breyt u selver uyt, immortal with honor. Inscriptions and textual elements: Naer arbeyt ruft.
