The Globe
  
"The whole world is
a playhouse":
this motto was flown
above the Globe theater with an image of Hercules holding a
globe;
Shakespeare echoes it
in As You Like It:
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely
players:
They have their exits and their
entrances;
And one man in his time plays many
parts
(II.vii.139-143).
