Sampler, Isabella Campbell, Scottish, Medium: silk and wool embroidery on wool foundation Technique: embroidered in cross, stem, and satin stitches on plain weave foundation, Large building in center with flowers, animals, and large swan at bottom. Text: 'Hail, Night! Thou gentle emblematic shade/ Of that tremendous period fix'd by God,/ When Drear forgetfulness shal veil the dead,/ And fame be lost beneath the green grass This ends the race of feeble man below;/ Nor pow'r, nor honour, frame nor youthful bloom,/ Can gain a respite from the dreadful Tis virtue only triumphs
