Sampler (USA), 1737 (CH 18564339)

The field contains an alphabet, several scenes and scattered figures, including The Three Fates, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the Expulsion, a lady and gentleman in contemporary costume, a hunter, sheep and birds, a verse in two columns, and signature, all within a stylized floral border.
The verse reads:
Let none despise the criss cross row

How soon poor Adam was they freedome lost
Forfeit to death ere thou hadst time to boast
Before thy Triumph was thy Glory done
Betwixt a Rising and a Setting sun
How soon that ends that should have ended never
Thine eyes ner slept until they slept forever
