lower right in chalk: V.center right in pencil: 4/Now the New Year reviving oldDesires,/The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires,/Where the White Hand of Moses on theBough/Puts out, and Jesus from the Ground suspires./5/Iram indeed is gone with all hisRose,/knows;/And Jamshyd's Sev'n-ring'd Cup where no one/But still a Ruby gushes from theVine,/And many a Garden by the Water blows./6/And David's lips are lockt; but indivine/High-piping Péhlevi, with "Wine! Wine! Wine!/"Red Wine!"--the Nightingale cries tothe/Rose/That sallow cheek of her's l'incarnadine.mount upper right in pencil: Sopro No1(crossed out) Caldo J--
