- Plain as this canvas was so plain we find / Unlettered unadorned the female mind / With close attention carefully in wrought / Fair education paints the pleasing thought / Inserts the curious lines on proper ground / Completes the whole and scatter flowers around. / Wrought by Lucy Munroe Charlestown AE 9 //
