Reading edition
Faithful Shepherdess (1608–9, Blackfriars), Beaumont’s c. v.:
Nor wants there those who, as the boy doth dance Between the acts, will censure the whole play.
In K. B. P. (1607, Blackfriars) a boy dances after Acts i and iii, and the citizens comment, ‘I will haue him dance Fading; Fading is a fine Iigge’. After Act ii there are fiddlers. After Act iv Ralph intervenes with a May Day speech.
