- Inscription
- (Upper L): Of many threads this peice is made / Like men together mixed / The thread of life is snapp'd and then / Mans doom is ever fixed / The contours of the silk do show / The different degrees / One man is high another low / But death takes wich he please / (Upper R): The threads and silk alike are / And so is lifes rough sea cross'd / The mariner is on it toss'd / And cross'd about is he / This peice of canvas first was white / And so we all must be / And my christs righteousness be dresst / And from black silk set fr / ee / (At the center): Rosina Payne //
