The illustration is accompanied by a poem: "O maiestas domini, quantum inclinaris. | Cum Deus ex femina oriri dignaris. | Numquid in palaciis, rex coeli locaris? | Non, sed praesepi[abbrev.]o breui reclinaris. | [Illustration] | Iesus qui angelico coetu veneratur. | Vestibus purpureis natus non ornatur. | Sed in satis vilibus pannis inclinatur. | Sicq: mundi gloriam pauper detestatur. |".

On the last page there is a woodcut of the virgin and child, with vanitas motifs and at the bottom "Iesu fili Dauid miserere mei. | O mater Dei meme nro mei". The illustration is surrounded by another poem: "O felix puerpera, gloriae lucerna, | Surge, veni, propera, domina superm | Mea terge vulnera, veniae pincerna, | Me Christo confedera, me semper | guberna. | [Below] | O regina virginu, per quam lux est orta | Reparatrix hominum, felix coeli porta | Verus splendor luminum, quaeso me | conforta, | Sursum ante dominum precem mean | porta. |".
