The Elizabethan Stage, Vol. 3

Note 484 — NOTE ON SYMBOLS (continued 3)

Reading edition

May Day has (a) Quintiliano’s, (b) Honorio’s, (c) Lorenzo’s, and (d) the Emperor’s Head, with an arbour (III. iii. 203). The only interior action is in Honorio’s hall (V). Windows above are used at Lorenzo’s, with a rope-ladder, over a terrace (III. iii), and at Quintiliano’s (III. ii). The action, which is rather difficult to track, consists largely of dodging about the pales of gardens and backsides (II. i. 180; III. iii. 120, 185; IV. ii. 83, 168). Clearly (a), (c), and (d) are all used in the latter part of II. i, where a new scene may begin at 45; and similarly (b), (c), and (d) in III. iii, and (b) and (c) in IV. ii.
