The fair penitent. A tragedy: Written by N. Rowe, Esq;.

ACT V. SCENE I.
SCENE is a Room hung with Black; on one side, Lothario's Body on a Bier; on the other, a Table with a Skull and other Bones, a Book, and a Lamp on it.
Calista is discover'd on a Couch in Black, her Hair hanging loose and disordered: After Musick and a Song, she rises and comes forward.
SONG.
I.
HEAR, you Midnight Phantoms, hear, You who pale and wan appear, And fill the Wretch, who wakes, with Fear. You who wander, scream, and groan, Round the Mansions once your own, You, whom still your Crimes upbraid, You, who rest not with the dead; From the Coverts where you stray, Where you lurk, and shun the Day, From the Charnel, and the Tomb, Hither haste ye, hither come.
II.
Chide Calista for Delay, Tell her, 'tis for her you stay; Bid her die, and come away.
