, arise, arise, rise and come away, My little pretty Spirit _Puncula_: What, not appear at thy Mistresses call, I'le surely torment thee; thou shalt not suck at all. Arise then, I say--_ [Spirit within sings. Spir. _I come, I come away, The Wind it blows hard, and forces me astray._ _Witch._ Let's wait a little, he'l appear, my Lord. _Anto._ Fear seizes me so fast, that all my Spirits Retire, and leave an Ague in my Joynts. _Enter a Spirit._ _Witch._ Come, have you done What I gave you in charge, If you have, I command you to tell it at large.

After some flashes of fire they sing._ 1. Spir. _What Spirit did _Lewis_ attend?_ 2. Spir. _It was I._ 1. Spir. _Declare to that Lord what you know._ 2. Spir. _I need not, the cause he did dye Was that truth to him known long ago._ Chor. _He's dead, he's dead, he's dead, and now For hot desires, In endless fires Must Live, must now forever Live with us below._ Chor. _He's dead, he's dead, &c._ _Anto._ Horrid and wonderful. 1.
