Repairs make it impossible to decipher the other inscriptions with certainty. The young girl is probably saying: "To please my friend better, I shall put on this pretty hat." The inscription above the courtier at the right identifies him as Detuit ("Pleasure"). The gentleman at the left may be saying: "Homage to my good lady, my protectress."
