A Poem of Chastity, Morality, Decency, & Good Order

Common night walkers,
common street walkers,
both male and female,

common railers and brawlers,

persons who with offensive and disorderly acts
or language
accost or annoy
persons of the opposite sex,

lewd, wanton and lascivious persons
in speech or behavior,

idle and disorderly persons,
disturbers of the peace,

keepers of noisy and disorderly houses,
and persons guilty of indecent exposure

in these Massachusetts reside.
