Note 207 — NOTE ON SYMBOLS (continued 2)

Locrine, IV. ii. 1460 (not an entry), ‘Locrine at one side of the stage’; Sir T. More, sc. i. 1, ‘Enter at one end John Lincolne ... at the other end enters Fraunces’; Stukeley, 245, ‘Enter Stukeley at the further end of the stage’, 2382, ‘Two trumpets sound at either end’; Look About You, sc. ii. 76, ‘Enter ... on the one side ... on the other part’. Very elaborate are the s.ds. of John a Kent, III. i. The scene is before a Castle. A speaker says, ‘See, he [John a Cumber] sets the Castell gate wide ope’. Then follows dialogue, interspersed with the s.ds. ‘Musique whyle he opens the door’.... ‘From one end of the Stage enter an antique ... Into the Castell ... Exit’.... ‘From the other end of the Stage enter another Antique ... Exit into the Castell’.... ‘From under the Stage the third antique ... Exit into the Castell’.... ‘The fourth out of a tree, if possible it may be ... Exit into the Castell’. Then John a Cumber ‘Exit into the Castell, and makes fast the dore’. John a Kent enters, and ‘He tryes the dore’. John a Cumber and others enter ‘on the walles’ and later ‘They discend’. For an earlier example of ‘end’, cf. Cobler’s Prophecy (p. 35, n. 1), and for a later The Dumb Knight (Whitefriars), i, iv. In 2 Return from Parnassus (Univ. play), IV. i begins ‘Sir Radericke and Prodigo, at one corner of the Stage, Recorder and Amoretto at the other’.
