    Inscription: Die Schlang betrog das weib Eva den man verfuert. Das er die Sünd begin daher all Unglück Rühret Zu sampt dem bittern Todt der alle menschen plagt Mit dem flamenden schwerd der Cherub sie ausiagt. [The serpent deceived the woman. Eve tempts the man to the sin from which springs all unhappiness together with bitter Death who plagues all mankind. The cherub with the flaming sword drives them out.]
