'Dunne' is of course one of the many ways
in which the poet's name is spelt, and 'Jhon' is a spelling

'Jhon Don' is Drummond's spelling on the title-page of _HN_.
In _Q_ the first page is headed 'M^r John Dunnes Satires'. ]

Davies' Epigrams are referred to in Sir John Harrington's
_Metamorphosis of Ajax_, 1596. ]

do not know. Besides the work named he wrote two sonnets prefixed to
Gervase Markham's _Devoreux. Vertues tears for the losse of the most
Christian King Henry, third of that name; and the untimely death of
the most noble and heroical Gentleman, Walter Devoreux, who was slain
before Roan in France. First written in French by the most excellent
and learned Gentlewoman, Madame Geneuefe Petan Maulette. And
paraphrastically translated into English by Jervis Markham. _ 1597. See
