And god will grant you the assistance for which
you ask.)

The identity of the author of this text is unknown;
in accordance with the majority of contemporary
practices, the text was most probably appended to
the central scene additionally, after its transfer into
the printed medium. That does not mean, how-
ever, that the author of the pictorial composition
did not understand its meaning. The represented
scene is described in the hrst two lineš of the verse,
while the other two lineš convey a moral message.
Pozzoserrato's drawing corresponds to the text in
a generalized yet direct manner. Castrucci's relief
adhères to the text's narrative to a lesser degree,
seeing as it is missing the protagonist: the praying
farmer. All other components of the "story" remain,
though without the hgure their meaning becomes
indecipherable.
In relation to this issue, consider Elisabeth Mac Grath's
excellent case study — MAC GRATH, E.: Rubens' Susanna
and the Eiders and Moralizing Inscriptions on Prints. In:
