This Ebony Midland bobbin has engraved in very fine text over six lines the following Lacemaker's Prayer in gold text. 

"From breaking thread and bending pins, brittle parchment and unmarked pricking, lumpy pillows, half hitches that run, and people who say 'is that all you've done'. Good Lord deliver us"

Bobbin styles available, (A) Midland 

Important the shape of the midland bobbin is a straight sided bobbin, not waisted as in the photo of bobbin styles
