Davies, John (1565?-1618).—Called "the Welsh Poet," was a writing-master, wrote very copiously and rather tediously on theological and philosophical themes. His works include Mirum in Modum, Microcosmus (1602), and The Picture of a Happy Man (1612), Wit's Bedlam (1617), and many epigrams on his contemporaries which have some historical interest.
