This article appears in Volume V26, Page 428 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TARLTON, RICHARD (d. 1588) ,
English
  actor, was probably at one
time
  an inn-keeper, but in 1583, when he is mentioned as one of the
original
 
company
  of queen's players, was already an experienced actor. He was Elizabeth's favourite clown, and his talent for
impromptu
  doggerel on subjects suggested by his
audience
  has given his name to that form of verse. T'o obtain the
advantage
  of his popularity a
great
  number of songs and witticisms of the day were attributed to him, and after his death
Tarlton
 's Jests, many of them older than he, made several volumes. Other books, and several
ballads
 , coupled his name with their titles. He is said to have been the Yorick of Hamlet's soliloquy.
