Boston. . . [aftermath of Boston Massacre, burial of victims
on Thursday:]
On this occasion most of the shops in town were shut,
all the bells were ordered to toll a solemn peal, as were
also those of the neighbouring towns of Charlestown and
Roxbury, &c. . . [21 lines, procession, deposit bodies in
vault.]
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.
. . . [8 more lines]
