- (In a vine cartouche): Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand / as the first effort of a youthful hand / And as her fingers o'er the canvass move / Engage her tender heart to seek thy love / With thy dear children let her have a part / And write thy name thyself upon her heart. / / // Hannah Beale's Work Aged 11 Years A.D. 1824
