Benjamin Franklin's Epitaph
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 believd, appear once more
In a new and more elegant Edition
Corrected and improved
By the Author. -
Given by B Franklin to Sam. Morris
August31 1776 __________
It is his own hand writing
