Inscription
(Uses both old style long S ( f ) and newer s): How blest the maid whom circling years improve / Her God the object of her warmest love. / Whose useful hours successive as they glide / Who sees her Parents heart exult with joy / And the fond tear it and sparkling in their eye. / Blest with the hope when the life's cares dismiss / Of a kind welcome to the realms of bliss. / / Sally Flagg AE 10 AD. 1802
