On Histrio
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 1
Social Commentaries
Though Histrio on the stage doth often die,
Thus put in mind of his mortalitie,
Yet reclames not, but lives licenciously,
As if he were to act eternally.
Believe me Histrio death at last wil come,
Though for a while hee keeps the tyring room.
