Note 1380 — BOOK IV THE PLAY-HOUSES (continued 3)
Reading edition
Translated by G. von Bülow in 2 Transactions of Royal Hist. Soc. ix. 230, from a manuscript in the possession of Graf von der Osten at Plathe, Pomerania. I add for the sake of completeness the following lines from the Hodoeporica (1568, ed. 2, 1575), 224, of N. Chytraeus, whose visit was probably c. 1565–7:
Opposita in Tamesis ripa, longa area paruis Distincta aspicitur tectis, vbi magna canum vis Vrsorumque alitur diuersarumque ferarum, Quae canibus commissae Anglis spectacula praebent, Hospitibusque nouis, vincti dum praelia miscent, Luctantes aut ungue fero, vel dentibus uncis.
