[From a Leyden Gazette ca. 18 July, 1777 and received in
Charleston ca. Oct 10 of the same year, this information and
a poem about Benjamin Franklin:]  Busts of Dr. Franklin were
made and in great request at Paris; on them were the
following lines:
Le voila ce mortal, dans le rare industrie, 
Au Tonnerre imposa des loix!
Il est beau d'asservir la nature en genie;
Il es plus beau de triompher de Rois.
