DESCRIPTION
Finely cut wheel scalloped margins; 8 hearts and a hand scripted original poem:
The 14th day of February, When we were brisk and merry.
To fill up our vacant time, Each and to draw their valentine.
As the grapes grow on the vines, I choosed thee for my valentine.
I choosed thee out from among the rest, The reason why I loved thee best.
The rose is read the violet blue, The pink is pretty but not like thee.
If these few line thee takes in thy hast, Pray send me a present from thy bask.
If these few line thee does refuse, Pray send them back to me eecuse.
The ring is round that has no end, My love is true to thee my friend.
Period frame with original finish. ex Bruce Knight collection, Springfield, Ohio
