而鄒、魯濱洙、泗,猶有周公遺風,俗好儒,備於禮,故其民齪齪。頗有桑麻之業,無林澤之饒。地小人眾,儉嗇,畏罪遠邪。及其衰,好賈趨利,甚於周人。

Benjamin Franklin:The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Excerpt 4

Benjamin Franklin《The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin》· The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin · Leadership

Josiah Franklin, and Abiah his wife, lie here interred. They lived lovingly together in wedlock fifty-five years. Without an estate, or any gainful employment, By constant labor and industry, with God's blessing, They maintained a large family comfortably, and brought up thirteen children and seven grandchildren reputably. From this instance, reader, Be encouraged to diligence in thy calling, And distrust not Providence. He was a pious and prudent man; She, a discreet and virtuous woman. Their youngest son, In filial regard to their memory, Places this stone. J.F. born 1655, died 1744, Ætat 89. A.F. born 1667, died 1752, ------85.
