Linen, embroidered with coloured silks in satin, stem, chain and cross stitches. Within a floral wreath is the following verse: On christian love and charity. Charity, decent, modest, easy, kind, Softens the high, and rears the abject mind, Knows with just reins, and gentle hand to guide, Betwixt vile shame, and arbitrary pride. Not soon provok'd, she easily forgives, And much she suffers, as she much believes. Soft peace she brings wherever she arrives; She builds our quiet, as she forms our lives; Lays the rough paths of peevish nature even; And opens in each heart a little heaven.
At the bottom, within a floral wreath, flanked by sprays of roses, is the inscription: "Perform'd By / Ellin Lovett in / The twelfth year / of Her age".
