Set Terminal tab name w/ AppleScript

I have the following script, which opens Terminal, connects to a remote host and launches a script there:

tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script "ssh me@myserver" 
    delay 10
    do script "sh ./startserver" in front window    
end tell

How can I set the name for this Terminal tab?

tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script "ssh me@myserver" 
    delay 10
    do script "sh ./startserver" in front window 
    set input to "\"\\033]0;<your title here>\\007\""
    do script "echo -n -e " & input   
end tell

Replace <your title here> with whatever text you wish your title to be.
