In the context of The Beloved (Rossetti), explore the Frame and inscription of the History.
The 1873 return to Rossetti's studio was probably when the frame was fitted; Rossetti often designed his own frames and inscriptions on them.
Between conventional small mouldings, the widest zone of the gilded wood frame has a vegetal scroll of "wavy fronds" on a dotted background, with four raised roundels with a geometrical design, each midway along a side.  A small wooden plaque is in the centre of the bottom member, with painted inscriptions: "The Beloved" large in the centre, and two sets of verses from the Bible on the sides, run together and slightly edited. On the left the verses are from the Song of Solomon, and on the right from Psalm 45:
My beloved is mine and I am his (Song, 2:16)
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth (Song 1:2)
for thy love is better than wine (Song 1:2)
She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of 
needlework: the virgins that be her fellows shall
bear her company, and shall be brought unto thee (Psalm 45:14)
