It's time for another fragment from the pen of George Puttenham, Lusty London.
This is the second of three fragments which comprise the complete dramatic works of George Puttenham, (following last months Gynaeocratica). It was originally written somewhere between 1570 and 1588, when George included some of the text as an example in his book The Art of Poesy.
