Boston, September 21. There is now in this town one Mr.
Henry Hymes, who, among other curios performances, balances
a naked sword perpendicular with the point on his bare
forehead.
. . . [24 lines follow describing other balancing tricks]
But he concludes the whole, by making the Devil himself
dance to all kind of tunes on the top of a whirligig, on the
hilt of a sword, whilst the whole he balances in the ball of
his left eye, and then swallows the whole.
