The Elizabethan Stage, Vol. 3

Note 374 — NOTE ON SYMBOLS (continued 3)

Reading edition

Silver Age, IV, ‘Enter Semele drawne out in her bed’; Hector of Germany, I. i, ‘a bed thrust out, the Palsgrave lying sick on it, the King of Bohemia, the Duke of Savoy, the Marquis Brandenburg entering with him’; Chaste Maid in Cheapside, III. ii. 1, ‘A bed thrust out upon the stage; Allwit’s wife in it’. This appears from ‘call him up’ (102) to be on the upper stage. Golden Age, I, ‘Enter Sibilla lying in child-bed, with her child lying by her, and her Nurse, &c.’ has the Cymbeline formula, but presumably the staging was as for Danae.
