an EPITAPH: Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin's epithaph reads: The Body of/ B. Franklin, Printer/ Like the Cover of an old Book/ Its Contents torn out/ And Stript of its Lettering & Gilding/ Lies here, Food for Worms/ But the Work shall not be lost/ For it will as he believ'd/ appear once more/ In a new and more elegent Edition
