In an italic hand, with annotation in another hand: "manu propria ipsius alciati." Cut from a larger leaf (perhaps an album); marks of seal, verso, indicating this leaf itself had been affixed to another surface; six additional lines of verse in the annotating hand, verso. Sixteen-line poem addressed to Gaietano (Paolo Giovio?), beginning "Ad me cum tua Musa devolasset/ Gaietane parens, tuisque diva/ Ut par est, foret obsequuta iussis/ Se dignum que nihil videret in me/"
