- John Davies of Hereford (c. 1565 – July 1618) was a writing-master and an Anglo-Welsh poet. He referred to himself as John Davies of Hereford (after the city where he was born) in order to distinguish himself from others of the same name, particularly the contemporary poet Sir John Davies (1569–1626). Davies wrote very copiously on theological and philosophical themes, some of which brought proto-scientific ideas into the public arena. He also wrote many epigrams on his contemporaries which have some historical interest. John Davies died in London. Davies was a friend of Edmund Ashfield, and wrote in an epigram that he nearly accompanied Ashfield on his journey to Scotland in 1599. (en)
- John Davies of Hereford (Hereford, ca. 1565, – Londen, juli 1618) was een Engels dichter. Hij wordt gewoonlijk aangeduid als John Davies of Hereford om hem te onderscheiden van naamgenoten, met name van zijn tijdgenoot, de dichter John Davies. Hij schreef onder andere het filosofische gedicht Mirus in Modum, a Glimpse of God's Glory and the Soul's Shape (1602) en het psychologisch getinte Microcosmos (1603). Humours Heav'n on Earth uit 1605 was een beschrijving van de pestepidemie uit 1603. The Scourge of Folly uit 1610 bevat epigrammen gericht aan verschillende in zijn tijd florerende schrijvers als John Donne, William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson en Samuel Daniel. (nl)
