[5 columns narrate "an account of the massacre at Boston]
The people were immediately alarmed with the report of this
horrid massacre, the bells were set a ringing and great
numbers soon assembled at the place where this tragical
scene had been acted. . . [narration ends]
With fire enwrapt, surcharg'd with sudden death,
Lo, the pois'd tube convolves it's fatal breath!
The flying ball with heav'n-directed force,
Rids the free spirit of it's fallen corse.
