Marks and inscriptions
To / Ellen Terry / Greeting / The muses played a silent lyre / Until your silver tongue unlocked / The mysteries of love / That true in art has forced the lear / The smile, the prayer, Our thankful praise / Is yours, fair Portia / Who weds the beauty of the heart / To soul in joyous song / Winning this lover friend your host / The western world. / JESSIE O'BRIEN MARVIN / Memorial Hall / Colombus, Ohio / Jan. 5th 1911 (engraved in centre)
