The Tragical History of Doctor FaustusFrom the Quarto of 1616
       88 (return) [ Robin: Old eds. "the Clowne" (and so frequently afterwards): but he is evidently a distinct person from the "Clown," Wagner's attendant, who has previously appeared       (see p. 111). Most probably the parts of the Clown and Robin were played by the same actor; and hence the confusion in the old eds.     

      P. 111. (this play):            "Enter WAGNER and CLOWN. WAGNER. Come hither, sirrah boy." etc. ]
