- Inscription
- Entertain Honor with Humility, Poverty with Patience / Blessing with Thankfulness, and Afflictions with Res - / ignation. Give thy Heart to thy Creator, and thy / Bosom to thy Friend. / Youth set right at first with ease go on, / And each new task is with new pleasure done, / But if neglected till they grow in years, / And each fond Mother her dear darling spares / Errors become habitural and you'd find, / Tis thn hard labour, to reform the mind. (In an octagonal shape at center bottom): Harriet Maria / Whitmore / Finished Augst 1831 //
