With the book plate of "Mr. Horatio Walpole." Inscribed Mary Maria Skerrett, with MS verses:
"Wth words like these thus moveingly exprest / Love gains admittance to the Virgin breast, / Wn unexperienced youth knows no deceite, / & pleasing dreams on morning slumbers wait. / where fancy'd joys are fleeting in the view / of lasting vows, gay loves, & Lovers true. / See here the Image of a wretched maid / by wt small steps insensibly betray'd, / Not all her charms, her beauty, nor her youth / Not her undoing could secure his truth. / Lost & undone"
