Mystery Surname
I have been transcribing this will from 1602 which hasn’t been too much trouble however the surname (from the second line onwards) is giving me a headache.
To me it looks like it begins with a T and ends in son but this does not create a surname that would fit logically into the situation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A note found in a book from 1948
I found this note inside an old book. At some point someone wrote in the book that that the note was from the author, I don't think that's the case but I can't read more than a few words. The printed name at the top of the note is Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald a guy famous enough to have his own Wikipedia page.

Dedication Poem Transcription
A local island had a dedication ceremony back in 1904. This Poem was read at that ceremony. I have tried very hard to get most of the words, but have come up short. Please help me transcribe this letter!! Thank you!
- Here is what I have figured out:
Fair Island circled by the tranquil Lake,
Girdled with rock and stately with high pines,
You ____ there house of Death’s enquiry—
Custodian of The______ of Hell—
______ were tramped down, with ______ restless feet,
The woodland flowers upon your radiant shores,
Broke the fever _______ with _____ hand
_____ split the rocks to hide their powder in
This suffering? Isle was dedicate to Death.
Alas! That men should make God’s handiwork
_______ of means of murder—oh alas!
That man-made in this image—showed _________
To _______ ________ outrage and destroy
That image in a ________ fellow-man.
Still wars assail—Still rage the battles on
Page 2
Around the world in bloody ___________
But God be praised—this happy little Isle
At last may dedicated be to Peace
This far-famed Island memorable for war.
Noted in history as war’s garrison—
Be consecrate? forevermore to Peace—
Come—let us sing triumphantly songs of Praise
To Him who is the very Prince of Peace—
And lift our hearts in conscious prayer—
To Him whose will and testament was Peace

( English ) Photo caption taken from an upcoming book on the Sozanni sisters and their work in the Italian fashion industry.
Hello everyone,
I apologise for the resolution being not quite adequate.
Please note that the font used seems to have a little quirk. While many letters seem to be in the uppercase, some "a"s are actually (and randomly) in the lowercase.
As far as I know, I read "Carla and Franca Sozzani, Milan. Photo Gianni Nunka?? , 1970"
Any help would be much appreciated.
