- In a square cartouche near the top): Jesus Permit Thy sacred name to stand / In the first effort of my youthful hand / And as my fingers o'er the canvas move / Engage my tender heart to seek Thy love / With Thy dear children may I bear a part / And write Thy name and soul upon my (above the line): heart.
