Boston. . . In the evening a great number of the true
friends of constitutional liberty met at Mrs. Clapham's, in
King-Street, near the spot where the tragical deed was
perpetrated . . . In a window east of the balcony, was
placed a large transparent frame, consisting the following
verses.
Canst thou, spectator, view this crimson'd scape,
And not reflect what these sad portraits mean?
Or can thy slaughter'd brethren's guiltless gore,
Revenge, from year to year, in vain implore?
. . . [20 more lines]
At a quarter after nine, the precise time of the evening
when the bloody scene was acted, the paintings were taken
in, and the bells set to tolling, which held till ten.
