Lettered below image: "Angelica Kauffman fecit, London 1767. | 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."
