What reference was made in a shakespeare play to the groundlings?

"Groundlings" was a term used in Shakespeare's time to refer to the common people or the lower class who stood in the pit, or "yard", of the Elizabethan theatres. The groundlings were often rowdy and outspoken, and were known for their ability to influence the success or failure of a play. In Shakespeare's play Henry V, the Chorus refers to the groundlings by saying "And let the mutinous winds of heaven / Blow their corruption in this beast of air, / Making the earth not fit for swimming; / And this same progeny of evils comes / From our luxurious vassals, fighting like bulls, / And grazing down the fat of these fair plains; / That stands against us, like an enemy, / With his steel knuckles."
