29 RICHARD TARLTON (From Harl. MS 3885, fol. 19) from: C.R. Baskervill, The Elizabethan jj_g and Related Song Drama
30 Richard Tar1ton The main problem encountered in a study of the life of Richard Tarlton is that of sifting the very few facts from the wealth of legend that has grown up around him. The task is not made easier by the circumstance that the majority of references to him are posthumous. The earliest known mention of his name is in 1570, when the words 'Qd. Richard Tarlton 1 appear at the end of a ballad entitled A very lamentable and wofull Discours of the fierce fluds, which lately flowed in Bedford shire in Lincoln shire, and in many other places, with -Hoi 1 great losses of sheep and other cattel, the 5 of October 1570. John Alde ! s colophon dates the piece 1570. The ascription to Tarlton is dubious: it is possible, even at this comparatively early date, that his name was used to promo'te the sale of the ballad. Tarlton 1 s name appears as author of other ballads in the Stationers 1 Register on 10 December 1576, 5 February 1577/78, p and 7 February 1578/79, but none of these is extant. The next mention of Tarlton is the first that indicates his reputation as a player. G-abriel Harvey uses his name *# disparagingly to convey his anger, or pretended anger, in a letter to Edmund Spenser written in the summer of 1579: And canst thou tell me nowe, or doist thou at the last begin to imagin with thy selfe what a wonderfull and exceeding displeasure thou and thy prynter have wroughte me, and howe peremptorily ye have preiudished my good name for ever in thrustinge me thus on the stage to make tryall of my extemporall faculty, and to play Wylsons or Tarletons parte. , Contemporary records make it clear that Tarlton was a member of the company of Queen Elizabeth ! s Men formed in 1583.
