Inscription
The Watch / Little Monitor by thee / Let me learn what I should be / Learn the round of life to fill / Useful and progressive still / Thou canst gentle hints impart / How to regulate the heart / When I wind thee up at night / Mark each fault and set thee right / Mark the movements of my mind / Nor be easy when I find / Latent errors rise to view / Till all be regular and true / 1849. Mary Jane Sarrell. June 21.
