Brenght herwaerdts, brenght herwaerdts, O vroome Dichters, seght hy {Panegyr. Theod. Aug. Dicto}, den gantschen arbeydt van uwe gheleerde nachten: ghy Konstenaers mede, verwerpt de ghewoonelicke beuselinghen der versufter fabulen, ende laet uwe vernuftighe handen dese dinghen liever afmaelen; laet de ghemeyne mercktplaetsen als oock de Kercken met d'afbeeldinghe deser gheschiedenissen verciert worden; latese in de Coleuren verlevendighen ende in 't Koper sich verroeren;

[Suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] Bring hither, bring hither, O pious Poets, he says {…}, all the labor of your learned nights: you Artists as well, reject the common twaddle of dazed fables, and let your ingenious hands rather paint these things; let the common market places as well as the Churches with the depiction of these histories be embellished; let them be brought to life in Color and be moved in Copper.
