Bez. unten Mitte: Der türkische Rossschweif oder Standart.
Bez. unten links: Der Rossschweif ist bey uns ein groses Ehrenzeichen, / Er wird als die Standart im Kriege venerirt: / Es soll der Christ davor erschrecken und erbleichen, / Wen uns die Grausamkeit in seine Länder führt; / Gelingt es aber Ihm denselben zu entreissen, / So mag die Schlacht so gut, als wie verloren heißen.
Bez. unten rechts: Equisetu Turcarum Maxime est Signum honoris, / loco equestris militiae insigne venerabitur bello. / Turca se putat, Christianus pro eo mentem / horore percipere debet et expallescere, / quando Crudelitate in suas provincias exercitum emitiit; / Tam provenit Christiano hoc signum equiseti eripere, / quam Praelium pro derelicto habet.
Bez. unten rechts: Ioh. Martin Will excudit Aug. Vind.
