Lanson, loc. cit. 422. A description of a tragi-comedy called Genièvre, based on Ariosto, at Fontainebleau in 1564 neglects the staging, but gives a picture of the audience as

une jeune presse De tous costez sur les tapis tendus, Honnestement aux girons espandus De leur maîtresse.

B. Rossi’s Fiammella was given at Paris in 1584 with a setting of ‘boschi’.
