text: "Cutting" Ball was a notorious criminal during the Elizabethan Age. Thomas Nashe mentions a ballad written about him, which does not survive. His sister, Em, or Emma, was a prostitute, "a sorry ragged quean", who according to various reports was the mistress of the clown Richard Tarlton and later of the writer Robert Greene and cared for both on their death-beds. She is said to have had a son, Fortunatus, by Greene. Greene, who wrote much about the London underworld, once hired Ball as a bodygua
