Temperance
Honest water is too weak to be a sinner; it never left man in the mire.
Shakespeare, “Timon of Athens,” i. 2.
The Press
There various news I heard of love and strife,
Of peace and war, health, sickness, death and life,
Of loss and gain, of famine, and of store,
Of storm at sea and travel on the shore,
Of turns of fortune, changes in the state,
Of fall of favorites, projects of the great,
Of old mismanagements, taxations new;
All neither wholly false, nor wholly true.
Alexander Pope, “Temple of Fame.”
