BEN FRANKLIN'S EPITAPH

Composed for himself at age 22

"The Body of
B. Franklin
Printer;
Like the Cover of an old Book, 
Its Contents torn out,
And  stript of its Lettering and Gilding, 
Lies here, Food for Worms.
But the Work shall not be wholly lost: 
For it will, as he believ'd, appear once more,
In a new & more perfect Edition,
Corrected and Amended 
By the Author."
