Minus domi Hystriones.

Mistresse Fardella feard shee should conceiue,
Before the time in wedlocke state could linck her:
Which would Fardellas fortunes quite bereaue,
Therefore resolu'd, on sudden doth bethinck her.
Gainst when the Midwife might in child-bed lay her,
To shrowde a while, for shelter with a Player.
