Well spotted Jimb. Shakespeare wrote a lot about Freo players but the names were changed after the first Folio, and so the Quarto's which are most often cited as Shakespeare's work has written them out of History.
Some quotes from the First Folio:
"Well, then,
Legitimate Danyle, I must have your spot:
Our father's love is to the bastard Clancee,
As to the legitimate: fine word,--legitimate!
Well, my legitimate, if this letter speed,
And my invention thrive, Clancee the base
Shall top the legitimate. I grow; I prosper:
Now, gods, stand up for bastards!"
- King Pearce (Now known as King Lear)
"Stephen: O Bradley, Bradley! wherefore art thou Bradley?
Deny thy team-mates and refuse thy cup;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Docker.
Bradley: [Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
Stephen: 'Tis but thy club that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Hawk.
What's a Hawk? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other team!"
- The Most Lamentable Tragedy of Seaman and Bird (now known as Romeo and Juliet)
"Goddard: Is this a Sherrin which I see before me,
The laces toward my boot? Come, let me kick thee!
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
A Sherrin of the mind, a false creation
Proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain?
- The Unreasonable Heat (now known as Macbeth)
