Hi Carl,
Dutch from around 1700 I would say.
The words seem as strange as the images.
This is what I have made of it so far:
Siet hier een teere maagt lÿt aan een rots gebonde
See here a gentle maiden is suffering, bound to a rock
Om van een monster hoot te worde verslonde
In order to be devoured by a monster dog[?]
Diana was vermaft met de son belaan
Diana was weary, loaded down as she was with the Sun
Sÿ koomt aan een fontÿn haar teere leede baan
She comes across a fountain where she can bathe her delicate limbs.
Perhaps your mythological knowledge can help further decipher this. Mine is a bit rusty.
