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.

First published in a five-stanza version beginning ‘Aske me no more where Iove bestowes’ in Poems (1640) and in Poems: by Wil. Shake-speare, Gent. (London, 1640), and edited in this version in Dunlap, pp. 102-3. Musical setting by John Wilson published in Cheerful Ayres or Ballads (Oxford, 1659). All MS versions recorded in CELM, except where otherwise stated, begin with the second stanza of the published version (viz. ‘Aske me no more whether doth stray’).

For a plausible argument that this poem was actually written by William Strode, see Margaret Forey, ‘Manuscript Evidence and the Author of “Aske me no more”: William Strode, not Thomas Carew’, EMS, 12 (2005), 180-200. See also Scott Nixon, ‘“Aske me no more” and the Manuscript Verse Miscellany’, ELR, 29/1 (Winter 1999), 97-130, which edits and discusses MSS of this poem and also suggests that it may have been written by Strode.

A satire written in 1675 by John Sheffield, Earl of Mulgrave, but it was widely believed by contemporaries (including later Alexander Pope, who had access to Mulgrave's papers) that Dryden had a hand in it, a belief which led to the notorious assault on him in Rose Alley on 18 December 1679, at the reputed instigation of the Earl of Rochester and/or the Duchess of Portsmouth.
