- Inscription
- Pilgrim, turn, thy cares forego / For earth-born cares are wrong: / Man wants but little here below / Nor wants that little long / In God place all thy confidence / And make his word thy guide / He will protect thy innocence / And for thy wealth provide / / And must this body die? This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine / Lie mouldering in the clay? / (Includes five stanzas). (At the bottom): Louisa Moores work in the 15th year of her age //
