 Cleopatra, where it represents the refuge of Cleopatra upon a monument, to which Antony is heaved up for his death scene, and on which Cleopatra is afterwards surprised by Caesar's troops. But I do not agree with the suggestion that it was used in shipboard scenes, for which, as we learn from the presenter's speeches in Pericles, the stage-manager gave up the idea of providing a realistic setting, and fell back upon an appeal to the imagination of the audience. Nor do I think that it was used for the 'platform' at Elsinore Castle in Hamlet; or, as it was in the sixteenth century, for scenes in a Capitoline senate overlooking the forum at Rome. In Bonduca, if that is of our period, it was adapted for a high rock, with fugitives upon it, in a wood. I do not find extensive chamber scenes 'above' in any King's play later than 1609, and that may be a fact of significance to which I shall return. But shallow action, at windows or in a gallery overlooking a hall or open space, continues to be frequent. *
