7. FINALE.

[THE storm is o'er, the sky is clear]

HERMAN.
THE storm is o'er, the sky is clear,
And past our consternation,
Our hero now has nought to fear
But your disapprobation.
The Outlaw trembling waits to hear
What sentence ye will give, sirs:
Decree his death, or set him clear;
Say, shall he die or live, sirs?

CHORUS.
The Outlaw, &c.

ORRILA.
Ye married dames, who grace the house,
A wondrous tale I'll tell ye:
Though left three years without my spouse,
I liv'd like chaste Penelly.
Then, all ye wives your Lords who love,
To me be well-intention'd;
So clap your hands like mad, and prove
Ye all are. . . .what I mention'd.

CHORUS.
The Outlaw, &c.

LODOWICK.
That storm came mighty a-propos:
But now the play is ended,
I hope, around, above, below,
To find the weather mended:

22

For thunder in this atmosphere
Great consternation causes,
Save when from hand and voice we hear
A thunder of applauses.

CHORUS.
The Outlaw, &c.

THE END.
