Fly leaf inscribed in ink with, "Song for the Clatterbones ...To the tune of Rattle my Bones in the Corner". A holograph poem of 3 eight-line verses, signed FRHiggins. [Telling of the death of Queen Jezabel, after which her bones are played as a musical instrument, the last line being "There's music in the old bones yet."
