Engraved plate

I'm ready, except for my final best (I hope) piece, which is to be this plate I blew at Martin's with 6 dancing couples engraved. I am still struggling with the rest of its design. Shall I put lettering in the middle - e.g. 'On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined' (Byron) or 'Now is the month of Maying...', or a grassy bank, or shall I do something else between the couples, like a maypole? I've got the weekend to do it. Or I might just present it as it is and finish it when I go to West Dean in June.
