- Jesus Pemit thy gracious name to stand / As the first effort of an infants hand / And while her fingers oer this canvass move / Engage her tender heart to seek thy love / With thy dear children let her share a part / Ane writ thy name thyself upon her heart / Good is the Lord in what he gives / Nor less when he denies / Even crosses from his sovereign hand / Are blessings in disguise / (At bottom): Mary Griffith Aged 10 years.
