Lettering

In memory of General Stanwix's daughter who was lost in her passage from Ireland. Angelica Kauffman pinxt. W.W. Ryland Engraver to his Majesty sculp. Lettering continues with a poem: On the dark bosom of the faithless main Where stormy winds and roaring tempests reign, Far from her native fields and friendly skies, In early death's cold arms Fidelia lies. Ah! spare to tell (for she is now no more) What virtue beauty sweetness charm'd before Here let the pensive muse in silence mourn Where friendship to her name has rais'd the sacred urn
