Many have asked about the text in the

Sarah Rogers 1803 Sampler. 

Here it is:

"All you my friends who now expect to see
A piece of work thus performed by me
Cast but a Smile on this my mean endeavor

I will strive to mend and be obedient ever

Sarah Rogers her work in the year of
Our lord 1803 in the 12th year of her age
Despair of nothing that you would attain
Unwearied diligence your point will gain."
