“Life is an Ocean, both extant and wide;
Man’s the Ship, that doth o’er its surface glide;
Happiness the Port, we ever strive to find;
Temperance must be the Pilot, to navigate the mind;
Reason then takes the helm, free from doubt,
To steer the course—as by Heaven pointed out.”
A map of Temperance, including the shores upon which one might beach. Published by Howe’s Sheet Anchors Press, 1846. Located in the Brown University collections, discovered via Mefi.
