[When Tarlton clown'd it in a pleasant vaine]

When Tarlton clown'd it in a pleasant vaine
With conceites did good opinions gaine
Vpon the stage, his merry humours shop.
Clownes knew the Clowne, by his great clownish slop
But now th'are gull'd, for present fashion sayes,
Dicke Tarltons part, Gentlemens breeches plaies:
In euery streete where any Gallant goes,
The swagg'ring Sloppe, is Tarltons clownish hose.
