Inscribed: Inscribed with three paragraphs or stanzas of poetry: Remember well and bear in mind/ A Faithfull friend is hard to find/ But when you find one just and true/ Never change to told one for a new/ Save me O Lord from/ Foolish pride/ Or impious discontent/ At aught thy/ Wisdom has deny>ed/ Or aught the goodness lent/ Teach me to feel/ Another's woe/ and hide the faults I see/ The mercy I to Others shew That mercy shew to me Jane Singleton/Aged 12 years"
