Text on the 1652 portrait (frontispice):

In veram effigiem musici et organici long praestantissimi celeberrimiqve, Henrici Scheidemanni

Musarum ocelli illius, et vere cati,

Suavis canorique modulatus arbitri,

Haec sculpta vultum Scheidemanni vividum,

Refert tabella. Quem semel si quis virum,

Summa accinentem Pegaseium melos,

Arte, lepidisque tot modis, audiverit:

Plane Orphea vel Amphionem stupens novum:

Coram videre protinus quam gestiet,

Mirabiturque in eo unice, quae nullius,

Pictoris aut sculptoris exprimit manus.

H.I.M.

[On the faithful portrait of the long-famous and celebrated musician and organist Heinrich Scheidemann:

This engraved portrait represents the living features of Scheidemann, that apple of the Muses eye and truly keen judge connoisseur of sweet and mellifluous music. if anyone had ever heard this man performing his inspired music with supreme skill and in such pleasing manner he will, as though dumbstruck, pine thereafter to behold in person this veritable new Orpheus or Amphion, and he will with regard to him be utterly amazed by that which no hand of painter or engraver can express.
(translation: Rudolf Rasch)]
