Yesterday, when Elliot S. had called to make a reservation, he requested: “A table for two, and one historical fact about Roger Sherman.”
For the aforementioned history fact I shared the following poetic forecast for the month of November from Roger Sherman’s 1751 Boston almanac:
“WHAT is our Duty while we’re here below;
Is our prime Wisdom carefully to know;
And diligently to perform the same;
Is what should always be our End and Aim.”
