Above the portrait, within a laurel wreath, is the verse: 'Shew me my Country's Foes,/The Hero cry'd;/He saw-He faught [sic]-He conquer'd,/And he di'd.' This is continued below 'Dear to his Country,/shall his Mem'ry live;/But sorrow drown's the Joy,/His Deeds should give.' The bowl has decorative borders printed inside and outside the rim.
