From The Gentleman's Magazine.
TO BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, ESQ; OF PHILADELPHIA, ON HIS
EXPERIMENTS AND DISCOVERIES IN ELECTRICITY.
Let others muse on sublunary things,
The rise of empires and the fall of Kings;
Thine is the praise, with bolder light to soar,
And airy regions, yet untrack'd explore,
. . . [39 lines]
No shivered organs now in fragments fly
. . . [37 lines]
The steeple and organ of St. Phillip's church at Charles
Town, have been twice damaged by lightning.
. . . [signed] C.W.
