Cælat sua crimina Sanctis.

Cvrta hath now no colour or euasion,
To meete or frolicke as time late permitted,
Because her husband barres vp all occasion,
That for such pleasures and aduantage fitted:
Keepes her from going to her childe at nurse,
Denyes accesse vnto her Garden-house:
For which shee giues him many a bitter curse,
And sweares, she not esteemes his threats a Louse.
The best escape her cunning can deuise,
Is once a weeke to Blacke-fryers exercise.
