Clari; Or, The Maid of Milan, play by
J.H. Payne, produced and published at London (1823), was adapted from a French ballet‐pantomime. Clari, an Italian country girl, is seduced by a duke, with whom she lives until a longing for home gives her courage to break the tie. At the end, the duke penitently marries her. The play is famous for the heroine's nostalgic song,
Home, Sweet Home, which Payne wrote to music arranged from a Sicilian air by Sir Henry Rowley Bishop (1786–1855).
