inscribed, original mount, lower margin, in black ink: They rear his drooping forehead from the ground;/ But when Aeneas view’d the grisly wound / Which Pallas in his manly bosom bore, / And the fair flesh distain’d with purple gore:/ First, melting into tears, the pious man/ Deplor’d so sad a sight, then thus began
inscribed, original mount, lower right, in black ink: Dryden’s Virgil [?] Book (worn away)
