The Indians threaten to Dine at Boston on our Election.

THe hungry Dogs, scenting the bay good Cheer,
Give out Bravadoes that they will be here.

But hopes we have of an Election day,
Although their Votes and Proxies keep away.
We think they will our Ammunition smell,
Which from our friends beyond Sea us befell.
