Dekker compares nighttime #earlymodern London to an indoor theatre when: "a number of shops for joy beganne to shut in...& all the Citty lookt like a private Play-house, when the windowes are clapt downe, as if some Nocturnal, or dismall Tragedy were presently to be acted before all the Tradesmen."
