Act 5, scene 3: The three scholars cautiously enter Faustus's room after he is dragged to hell and are horrified to see his limbs strewn about.  They shudder in fear as they remember how he screamed for mercy and help at midnight.  They agree, however, to give his remains a proper burial, although his soul was decidedly unholy.  The chorus enters and laments Faustus's wayward soul and hellish fall.  They also warn the audience to take heed from Faustus's lesson and only wonder at unlawful things and never practice anything that heaven forbids.
