- Inscription
- The Lord my pasture shall prepare / And feed me with a shepherds care / His presence shall my wants supply / And guard me with a watchful eye / My noon day walk he shall attend / And all my midnight hours defend. /// (On L): When at this you take a view / Remember her who taught it you. (On R): Lord give me wisdom to direct my ways / I ask not riches nor yet length of days. /// H. Brown her 17 / work finish'd 98 //
