Ben Jonson killed a man in a duel; "Kit" Marlowe was stabbed to death in a tavern" brawl. The Elizabethans lived dangerously, and while they lived, they were asmile with daring. Shakespeare held a magnifying glass to the spirit of his age, and set the unroofed circle of the Globe's "wood en O" blazing with his Muse of Fire...
