Lettering

Lo! as the fainting labourer stoops to reap. The deadly drops his clay cold temples steep. In pride of youth the tyrant want prevails, The sickle falls, and harrass'd nature fails. Pa. 19 Pratt's poem of the "Poor" or cottage pictures. P.J. de Loutherbourg R.A. inv. & del. Anth'y Cardon sculpt.
