Came to town last Saturday Mr. Charles Williams of Boston,
and Mrs. Desire Bell, Widow of Caps. Daniel Bell, late of
Boston, and in the Evening was married by Dr. Haven.

Alternate joyless nights and longing days:
No tender transports wake his sullen breast;
No soft endearments lull his cares to rest.
