		Sir John Davies (not to be confused with John Davies of Hereford) was a man of the same pattern, though without lord Brooke’s memory of “the spacious days” and without his deep austerity.
		Davies then passes on to examine the nature of the soul, its attributes and its connection with the body; and, having defined with exactness what he means by the soul, proceeds to prove its immortality by means of arguments for and against his proposition.
		Davies does not, as it were, embroider his theme with verse, but uses verse, and its beauties of line and metaphor, to make his meaning more clear, and, thereby, gallantly justifies the employment of his medium.

	JOHN DAVIES OF KIDWELLY
		Davies' standing in the community is indicated by the fact that in the year his son matriculated at Oxford he was amongst the commissioners appointed to enquire into the dispersion of the lands of the Chantry of St Nicholas in Kidwelly.
		He continues, 'Davies, the son of a yeoman, and himself certainly a man of no great means, seems to have devoted himself almost exclusively to translation and to have been rewarded with a comfortable existence.
		John Davies' civic and marital status, are thus confirmed by documents relating directly to his death in 1693, the date of which is given by Wood and accepted by all modern authorities.

	Doelman - The accession of King James I and English religious poetry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Davies seems to be offering to maintain the image of the virtuous king so precious to James, but at the same time suggesting that James's actual virtue may be somewhat lacking.
		Davies is either exhibiting an honest naivete about the decorum of praise, or intentionally subverting his own praise of the king out of a distaste for the usual role of the court poet.
		Some poets continued to direct works of religious verse to James, but those of later years generally lacked the optimism that lavish patronage would be forthcoming, and the naivete that their versifying on God, the church, and the soul, would fulfill James's taste for theological complexity.

		And not only so, but generally to perform to me all the good offices which the vivacity of your wit can suggest to your mind to be performed to one, in whose affection you have so great sympathy, and in whose fortune you have so great interest.
		Davis was no doubt John Davies, the poet, -- author of 'Nosce Teipsum:' and afterwards Attorney-General for Ireland.
		But as Bacon occasionally wrote letters and devices, which were to be fathered by Essex, he may have written verses for a similar purpose, and Davis may have been in the secret.

	davieserler
		Davies, with characteristic panache, asks the Muses' help "again to raise" the maiden Astraea to heaven by means of his songs, while in the countess's first stanza Thenot humbly requests the muses' assistance "to raise" his own poetic wits.
		As the poet himself assumes a pose both servile and dominant, so his poem's meaning is likewise twofold, both in his perception of it (burden or posy) and, he fears, in the world's eyes (will it be read as sycophancy or adornment?).
		Both Davies and the countess must construct their poetic selves in relation to the reality of power; but it is Davies's failure that he allows the reader to see that reality, and it is the countess's triumph that she whisks power out of sight.

		In the Scourge of Folly, John Davies of Hereford (1565-1618) wrote this epigram:

	Stevie Davies - John Donne
		Stevie Davies challenges the traditional assumptions relating biography with the author's work, emphasising the Renaissance scepticism which brought all belief, including the 'self', into doubt.
		However, her close, sensitive readings of individual poems allow for personal reactions to their profound emotion, whilst her exploration of the cultural, religious, and political circumstances which conditioned the poet's mind give bearings for study of his turbulent, brilliant intelligence.
		Dr Davies challenges the tradition of male criticism which congratulates Donne on the 'virility' of his writing: she exposes his misogyny and the emotional conflict and vulnerability to which it attaches.
