Text on the frame:
SOMNIUM DANTIS IN EXTREMA BEATRICIS HORA / JUNII DIE. 9 ANNO 1290
Quotation on the frame:
Allor diceva Amor: "Più non ti celo; / Vieni a veder nostra donna che giace" / L'immaginar fallace. // Mi condusse a veder mia donna morta; / E quando l'avea scorta, / Vedea che donne la covrian d'un velo; // Ed avea seco umiltà si verace, / Che parea che dicesse: Io sono in pace. / Dante: La Vita Nuova
