Disambiguation Notice:

Probably this doesn't need to be pointed out to anyone who has books by either of them, but Sir John Davies (1569–1626) and John Davies of Hereford (1565–1618) – both prolific poets who lived at almost exactly the same time, and both of whom were acquaintances of Shakespeare – were two different people.
