in margin below image, in plate: TERRA parens, qua non elementum est firmius ullum, / In media mundi parte locata manet. / Fert gramen, flores, laetas fert denique fruges, / Et reliqua unde animans vivere quodq[ue] queat. (Mother Earth, than whom no element is firmer, Abides, situated in the midpoint of the world. She bears grass, flowers, at length bears pleasing fruits, Animating from all quarters whatever is capable of life.)
