Likewise overlaid by the smaller annulet, below 'Richard Outram', is an abstract design of three vertically bisected semi-circles one on top of another, the topmost bisected also by a horizontal mark; all are blocked in relief, within a circle which is blocked in gold. To each side of the poem's text is a stylized floral figure, in green. Both the floral figure and the circular ornament are from the font 'Arts and Crafts Dingbats'. |

| Transcript | Look! Into the shuddered sun up from the jaundiced dust the lithe stripling shinnies O he shinnies up and vanishes into the bare firmament O no mirrors O no ropes of smoke. When on love intent. Then the venomed cobra swayed erect in flickered dissonance in shrill insistence weaving woven in the nagging raga drops through thundered silence into its captive basket back. The lid is gingerly replaced. |
