Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies of Mr. William Shakespeare, as Presented at the Globe and Blackfriars Theatres, Circa 1591-1623: Being the Text Furnished the Players, in Parallel Pages With the First Revised Folio Text, With Critical Introductions Wherever else in the Shakespeare plays John Milton may have been able to find native wood notes wild, he certainly would have been puzzled to discover them in T radar and Cressz'a'a. Here, indeed, Shakespeare stalks in buskin only, portray ing mighty men, peers, leaders, counsellors, and princes scarcely consenting, in Pandarus and Ther sites, to utilize the low comedians of his company, even with an eye to the groundlings or the testerns at the door.
