Pageants and interludes were played at intervals at the neighbouring great country- houses, where, as in the Taming of the Shreio and Hamlet, strolling companies often offered their services; and there is reason to believe that Shakespeare's father took him when eleven years old to Kenilworth, to witness the elaborate performances arranged to honour the Queen's visit there to Lord Leicester in 1575. Every step that Elizabeth took on this occasion was celebrated by some quaint semi-dramatic devi
...ce. As she first approached the castle on Saturday, the 9th of July, a sibyl met her, pro- phesying prosperity to her government. The porter who opened the gate to her was dis- guised as Hercules. When she passed a pond in the outer court, female figures personating water nymphs offered her welcome. Next day a display of fireworks took place. Monday was occupied in hunting, ingeniously diversified by a sylvan masque. In whatever direction the Queen 213 STRATFORD-ON-AVON rode in the neighbouring country during the ensuing week, the villagers arranged similar shows for her delight.
