Epig. 277. To Fuluia, in Comfort of her heauinesse.

Fvluia hold vp thy head; why pow'tst thou so?
Is thy new Husband old? I faith Sir no
A Womans nay's, a double yea (they say)
I did imagine where thine anguish lay.
Alas (poore Girle) thou hast not what thou hast:
And feeding still, art yet constrain'd to fast.
