- The Theatre is your Poets Royal Exchange, upon which their Muses (that are now turned to Merchants) meeting, barter away that light Commodity of words, for a lighter ware than words, Plaudities, and the breath of the great Beast, which (like the threatnings of two Cowards) vanish into Air.--Gull's Hornbook by Thomas Dekker
The Guls Horne-Booke (1609) describes the life of city gallants, including a valuable account of behaviour in the London theatres.
