austus, nor lord nor knight, nor wise nor old,To every place about the town doth ride;He rides into the fields[470] plays to behold,He rides to take boat at the water-side,He rides to Paul's, he rides to th' ordinary,He rides unto the house of bawdry too,--Thither his horse so often doth him carry,That shortly he will quite forget to go. FOOTNOTES: [470] See the admirable account of "The Theatre and Curtain" in Mr.Halliwell-Phillipps' _Outlines of the Life of Shakespeare_, ed. 3, pp.385-433. It is there shown that the access to the _Theatre_ play-housewas through Finsbury Fields to the west of the western boundary-wall ofthe grounds of the dissolved Holywell Priory. IN KATAM.[471] VIII. Kate, being pleas'd, wish'd that her pleasure couldEndure as long as a buff-jerkin would.Content thee, Kate; although thy pleasure wasteth,Thy pleasure's place like a buff-jerkin lasteth,For no buff-jerkin hath been oftener worn,Nor hath more scrapings or more dressings borne. FOOTNOTES: [471] Not in MS.
