When Shakespeare was twenty-one,he went to London,a very interesting place,to try his fortune.
There were the famous London Bridge and St.Paul’s Cathedral,and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.
Then,too,there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world.Knights,scholars and highwaymen(拦路强盗) or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies,passed by each other.
Here,also,were noblemen dressed in gold,from Italy,Spain and France;slaves from Spanish America,sea captains and ministers,soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London,and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.
