Made for New Perspectives at Pollok House, Glasgow in reaction to Peter Oliver's miniature of Lady Arbella Stuart.

"Thrice toss these oaken ashes in the air,
Thrice sit in this enchanted chair
Then thrice times three tie up this true lovers' knot
And murmur soft: "She will, or she will not"
Thomas Campion 1613
