HEAVEN

'The Body
Of
Benjamin 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 lost
For it will, as he believed, appear once more,
In a new and more elegant edition,
Revised and corrected
By
The Author.'
Benjamin Franklin in Paul David Tripp, Forever: Why You Can't Live Without It, p.21.
