Subject: RE: Info on William Kemp of 'Kemp's Jig'
Aha, I see, but was it a jig? :-)

The illustration in the 1600 edition shows him with bells on his ankles, which would indicate a morris dance, and he describes it as a "late Morrice". The 1985 edition I've got hold of has a short glossary of words in the book no longer in common usage. I'll transcribe it later.
