[New-Poetry] Ben Franklin, poet

Re. Lincoln and verse, Bruce Guernsey reminds me that we discussed Lincoln's 
closeness to blank verse in The Gettysburg Address some years ago and that 
Bruce was then using TGE as a classroom exercise in versification.  Bruce 
published an article on Lincoln as versifier in Virginia Quarterly Review (VQR, 
Volume 78, Number 2, Spring, 2002).  Credit where credit's due.
