This John Dowland lute piece was written as a lament for the famous clown Richard Tarleton, who was the most popular comedian of his time. Noted for hamming it up on stage, and improvising with humorous doggerel, he was loved by everyone and it was said that just the appearance of his face through the curtains would bring the audience to laughter. This is for my golfing buddy Anne, who passed away earlier this week.
