               (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 Believ'd) Appear once More
              In a New and More Elegant Edition
                    Revised and Corrected
                       By the Author.
              He was born on January 6, 1706.
