First sentence: Thousands upon thousands attended the first Elizabethan performance - rich and poor, men, women, and children; nobility, courtiers, citizens, merchants, and masterless men - in a joyful, noisy crowd that would fill a Fortune, Rose, or Globe Theater several times over: Richard Mulcaster's account calls it "a stage wherein was shown the wonderful spectacle of a noble hearted princess toward her most loving people."
