Lettered below image with title and eight lines of verse beginning: “Painted by J. R. Smith Engraved by W. Nutter / Let Youth pluck the rose & a wreath let him weave / While wet with the dew of the morn; / But alas he will find when with me at the eve, / That the rose left behind it a thorn. / The pluck’t rose is the classical emblem of death, / Tis the mirror we hold to the fair, / It teaches how Virtue embalmeth the breath, / But if pluck't—it empoisons the air
