Notes:

Verse beneath title reads: The Tree of Weaving Art, Large is it's Root / And Broad and Narrow Branches bears it's Fruit / Which every Spring rises to our View, / Budding in Broad Loom and in Narrow too.

Text of poem proper begins: Weavers, with pleasure now us entertain, / And tell the glory of your hand and brain; / Trace then the glory of the Weaving Trade, / And say that wonders in the Loom are made.
