is Cardinal Farnese going to Worms as Legate to the
Emperor Charles V, and his Majesty and the Prince, his son, are coming
forth to meet him, with a vast multitude of Barons, and among them the
King of the Romans; with the proper inscription. On the wall on the left
hand as one enters, in the first scene, is the war fought against the
Lutherans in Germany, where Duke Ottavio Farnese was Legate, in the year
1546, with the inscription; and in the second are the above-named
Cardinal Farnese and the Emperor with his sons, who are all four under a
baldachin carried by various persons portrayed from life, among whom is
Taddeo, the master of the work, with a company of many lords all around.
On one of the head-walls, or rather, ends, are two scenes, and between
them an oval, in which is the portrait of King Philip, with this
inscription:

PHILIPPO HISPANIARUM REGI MAXIMO, OB EXIMIA IN DOMUM FARNESIAM
MERITA.

In one of the scenes is Duke Ottavio taking Madama Margherita of Austria

M. Durante, Eurialo da Cingoli, M. Giovanni Riccio of Montepulciano, the
Bishop of Como, Signora Livia Colonna, Claudia Mancina, Settimia, and
Donna Maria di Mendoza. In the other is Duke Orazio taking as his wife
the daughter of King Henry of France, with this inscription:

HENRICUS II, VALESIUS, GALLORUM REX, HORATIO FARNESIO CASTRI DUCI
DIANAM FILIAM IN MATRIMONIUM COLLOCAT, ANNO SALUTIS 1552.

In which scene, besides the portrait of Diana herself with the royal
mantle, and that of her husband Duke Orazio, are portraits of Caterina

King of Navarre, the Constable, the Duke of Guise, the Duke of Nemours,
the Admiral Prince of Conde, the younger Cardinal of Lorraine, Guise not

Mademoiselle de Rohan.

On the other head-wall, opposite to that already described, are likewise
two other scenes, with the oval in the centre, in which is the portrait
of King Henry of France, with this inscription:

HENRICO FRANCORUM REGI MAX. FAMILIAE FARNESIAE CONSERVATORI.

In one of the scenes (namely, in that which is on the right hand) Pope
Paul III is investing Duke Orazio, who is kneeling, with a priestly
