The verse reads:

Young ladies fair whose virtuous minds incline
to all that's curious, innocent and fine.
With admiration in your works we read
the various textures on the twining thread.
Then let your fingers whose unrivalled skill
exalts the needle, grace the noble quill.

The sampler is stitched with DMC cotton thread.
