Benjamin Franklin, as a young man, wrote this epitaph for himself, but I don't know whether it was actually used:
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.
