York School, or York Friends' Girls' School, to give it its full name, opened in 1785. Its founders were prominent Quakers, Esther and William Tuke, who wished to provide an education for the daughters of fellow Quakers. Fees were 14 guineas a year for ‘instruction, board and washing’. The school continues today as an all-girls educational establishment, now known as The Mount School. The verse reads: 'Would'st thou in safety plough th' inconstant tide,/The helm let prudence ever watchful guide./She shuns the deep, where mountain-billows roar./And shuns alike the shallows and the shore.' It is the first part of a 12-line poem published in Miscellanies, Moral and Instructive, in Prose and Verse; collected from various authors, for the use of schools, and improvement of young persons of both sexes , compiled by American Quaker poet Milcah Martha Moore (1740-1829). It was first published in Philadelphia in 1787, and re-printed in London the same year. Susette Judith Clement was born in Panfield, Essex, in 1828, and died in Brentwood in 1891. She married David Rist and they produced a son named William. The two verses are taken from Thomas Moore's hymn 'There’s nothing bright, above, below,/From flowers that bloom to stars that glow ...'.
