Inscription
The noble art to Cadmus owes its rise / Of painting words and speaking to the eyes / He first in wondrous maggick letters bond / The airy voice and stopp'd the flying sound / The various figures by his pencil wroght / Gave colour form and body to the thought. / Eliza Green aged 10 yr my Stonehs (sp) October 1805 //
