SCENE I.

An Apartment.
Madrigal, Trulletta.
Mad.
Thy last sad duties to thy sire are paid:
The grave hath op'd its consecrated maw
To swallow down thy father's hallow'd corse.
The Stygian tar no longer can refuse
His spirit passage to th' Elysian shades.

For the benefit of our less learned readers, we have thought proper to signify, that the Stygian tar is Charon, the owner of the infernal ferry boat.
