h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just read a computer manual which had Franklin's epitaph as its frontispiece - should be centred and in a nice graven script:

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

I can't vouch for its accuracy but it rings true.

Oh I like that. He must have composed it himself.

I saw that epitath years ago in a copy of his Autobiography.
