Floral border, repeat pattern of honeysuckle and columbine, enclosing  a verse "An Address" above the inscription "Jane Margaretta Jones Aged 11 1796"  which is flanked by floral sprigs with a bow beneath.

The verse: Go on dear Girl proceed witrh care /The course which you've begun/ So shall success your labour's crown/ And pleasure yet unknown/ Exert your utmost skill to please/ Endeavour to excell/proceed with caution persevere/ And all will then be well/Obedient ever be to those /Whose province is to rule/ Submission always gains respect/ From wise men and from fools/ And when your studies are complete/ Your education o'er/ Give both your parents grateful thanks/ They will desire no more.
