philosopher, patriot, scientist,philanthropist and statesman.
Self-made,self-taught,self-reared, the candle makers son gave light to all the world;
the street ballad seller set all men singing of liberty;
the runaway apprentice became the most sought-after man of two continents,
and brought his native land to praise and honor him.
He built Americafor what our Republic is today is largely due to the prudence,
the forethought, the statesmanship, the enterprise,the wisdom,
and the ability of Benjamin Franklin.
He belongs to the world, but especially does he belong to America,
as the nations honored him while living,
so the Republic glorifies him when dead,
and has enshrined him in the choicest of its niches
the one he regarded as the loftiestthe hearts of the common people,
from whom he had sprung and in their hearts Franklin will live forever.
