The illustrations include a central inscription of a verse and the author's details, surrounded by a border of snaking laurel, on top of which are two birds of paradise, and with a rural scene of fields and farmhouses either side. Beneath this is a red house with fence and trees, further down a selection of flowers. The whole sampler is bordered with scrolling foliage."@en . .
