Inscription: pen and ink, above: Quel mortal habitait / En ce gîte si sombre / Qui donc lá se cachait / Dans la nuit et dans l'ombre / Ah! ma foi je l'ignore / Si tu veux le savoir / Curieux, vas y voir / Il en est temps encore

[What mortal used to dwell in this dark lair? Who used to hide himself at night in such a shady hole? Ah! my word, I cannot tell. If you wish to know, O curious one, go and see. There is still time.]
