A generic fictional composer of terrible poetry and bad popular songs; a balladmonger.
Mentioned in several plays, the term was used in the 1500s-1600s.
Of Songs and Ballads also he is a maker,
And that can he as finely do as Jack Raker.
-from Ralph Royster Doyster, Act II. scene 1, a comedy by Nicholas Udall, circa 1522.
