The Second Tetralogy
Those who stood safely apart from the javelins' flight path during practice, repeatedly contrasted with the boy who moved into danger, used by both sides to argue about who bears responsibility for the fatal accident.
The lad is therefore accused without just cause, as he did not strike anyone standing clear of the target.
And this is clear proof that it was through his own error that he met with a disaster which those who stood still did not.
To the spectators or the masters in charge—whom no one accuses at all?
Amphitruo
The theatre audience directly addressed by Mercury in the prologue; subject to Jupiter's commands about fair behavior during the performance.
Attend, it will be worth the while of you spectators, for Jupiter and Mercury to perform here the actors’ part.
Now Jupiter has ordered me to beg this of you, that the inspectors should go among each of the seats throughout the whole theatre, amid the spectators, that, if they should see any suborned applauders of any actor, there should in the theatre be taken away from them the pledge of their coats, as a security for their good behaviour.
as you would wish me to favour and promote these things, that lasting gain may ever be forthcoming for you, so shall you give silence for this play, and so shall you be fair and upright judges here, all of you.
