And pledg’d the vessel’s owner’s word
Not yet to enter it.[24]
At Faneuil Hall,[25] next morning,
While all the bells were rung,
Men swarm’d, like bees, to buzz before,
Prepar’d to die, they stung.
The sheriff[26] came and cried aloud:
“You meet unlawfully!”
His cry but made them busier buzz,
With Saxon loyalty.
