FONS BANDUSIÆ.
Inscription for a Spring.
Pure Water, the emblem of Life,Has been chosen and blest from above:
Pure Woman, the maid and the wife,
Is the source and the fountain of Love:
Pure thought, in the depths of the mind,
Rises cool and refreshing and clear.
May you have all these blessings combined!
One, at least, is awaiting you here.
