Colours gold, yellow, light brown, black, navy blue and greens. Verse entitled, 'The tear of sympathy' reads, 'No radiant pearl, which crested fortune wears,>No gem, that twinkling hangs from beauty's ears,>Nor the bright stars, which night's blue arch adorn,>Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn.>Shine with each lustre, as the tear that breaks,>For others' woe, down Virtue's manly cheeks.'.
