Shakespeare's 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day' sonnet calligraphed in black ink blackletter script, surrounded by a decorative border of swirling leaves, vines, and flowers in repeating patterns. The first letter 'S' is big and illuminated in its own box, with a golden dragon perched on the box breathing fire downwards, and in the bottom right corner looking up at the dragon, there's a knight brandishing a sword.
