- * Thou shalt have no more gods but me / * Before no idol bow thy knee / * Take not the name of God in vain, / * Nor dare the sabboth day profane. / * Give both thy parents honnor due, / * Take heed that thou no murder do. / * Abstain from words and deed unclean / * Nor steal though thou be poor and mean, / * Make not a lie nor love it, / What is thy neighbours dare not covet. / (At the center bottom): Maria Young / 1845 //
