On 31 October 1618, Edward Alleyn drew up a lease granting use of the Fortune to ten of the Palsgrave's men: Edward Juby, William Bird (alias Bourne), Frank Grace, Richard Gunnell, Charles Massey, William Stratford, William Cartwright, Richard Price, William Parr and Richard Fowler. The term of the lease was for thirty-one years, beginning 29 September 1618, and the rent was £200 a year, as well as two roundlets of wine, 'the one sack and the other claret, of 10s apiece price, to be delivered at the feast of Christmas yearly.' The leaseholders were not to alter the playhouse in any way, or to use it to any other purpose.
