Reading edition

Cf. p. 25. I am not clear whether Volpone, V. 2801, ‘Volpone peepes from behinde a trauerse’ is below or above, but in either event the traverse in this case must have been a comparatively low screen and free from attachment at the top, as Volpone says (2761), ‘I’le get up, Behind the cortine, on a stoole, and harken; Sometime, peepe ouer’.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
