This Gentleman liv'd in the Reign of King James the First, and was a Master of Arts, tho' of which University I am uncertain. He writ Two Plays, viz.
Christian turn'd Turk, or The Tragical Lives and Deaths of the two Famous Pirates Ward and Dansiker: a Tragedy printed in quarto Lond. 1612. For the Story I refer you to a
Piece call'd Barker's Overthrow of Captain Ward and Dansiker, two Pirates: printed in quarto Lond. 1609. from which Narrative, I suppose our Author borrow'd the Story.
Poor Man's Comfort, a Tragi-Comedy divers times acted at the Cock-pit in Drury-lane, with great applause, and printed in 4o Lond. 1665.
Tho' this Author in his Epistle to his Chri∣stian turn'd Turk, speaks of his former Labours; It has not been my fortune to have seen any of them. There is a Sermon written by One Ro∣bert Daborn, on Zach. 11. 7. printed in octavo Lond. 1618. whether this were the same with our Author I know not, but 'tis probable it might be, and that he was a Divine, by this Distick which I find in an old Copy on the Time Poets;
Dawbourn I had forgot, and let it be, He dy'd Amphibion by the Ministry.
