An apostrophe is used in Shakespeare's plays (and in other poetry) to indicate that a consonant has been omitted - either to help the line scan metrically, or to indicate how someone spoke (dialect, or speaking fast). What letter has been omitted would be apparent from the context - the other words around it, but it most likely means "in".
