Spenser's honest verses

This MS edited in John Nichols, The Progresses and Public Processions of Queen Elizabeth, III (London, 1823), 586-95, from a transcript (with some misreadings) made in 1803 by Rev. Ralph Churton (see Bond I, 534). Reprinted from Nichols's edition in Bond, I, 491-8. See also DaJ 298-300. A transcript of Churton's 1803 transcript made in 1819 by Sophia Palmer is in the London Metropolitan Archives, Acc. 1085/FP.1.
The fullest text of what are taken to be the extant portions of the Entertainment at Harefield, 31 July-2 August 1602, is edited in The Complete Works of John Lyly, ed. R. Warwick Bond (Oxford, 1902), I, 491-504, where it is suggested that probably the prose and the Mariner's song were written by Lyly and the rest chiefly by Davies (see I, 534-5). Krueger, following Grosart, accepts the prose too as Davies's (see Krueger, pp. 409-11). It is argued that Davies probably wrote all of the Harefield entertainment
in Gabriel Heaton, Writing and Reading Royal Entertainments (Oxford, 2010), pp. 100-16.
