Inscription on other side Reads:

"In God is all our Trust," and "Industry Produceth Wealth," and the following verse:
"let the wealthy and great
Roll in splendor and state.
I envy them not I declare it.
I eat my own lamb
My own chickens and ham.
I shear my own fleece and I wear it.
I have lawns I have bowers
I have fruit I have flowers
The lark is my morning alarmer.
So My jolly boys now
Here's God speed the plough.
Long life and success to the farmer."
