From the Boston Gazette. . . [3 lines introduction, 7 lines
questioning the state of happiness of a batchelor's life]
The dry, dull, drowsy batchelor, surveys
Alternate joyless nights and lonesome days;
No tender transports wake his sullen brest,
No soft endearments lull his cares to rest:
. . . [14 lines of poetry, 11 lines prose]
