Boston . . . It is said the officers intended a grand
assembly this evening, but the ladies of the town could not
be persuaded into the propriety of indulging themselves in
musick and dancing with these gentlemen, who had been sent
hither in order to dragoon us into measures which appear
calculated to enslave and ruin us.
  For this, when beauty's blooming charms are past, 
  Your praise, fair nymphs, to latest times shall last.
