In the last line of Barnfield's sonnet, the words ‘One knight loves both’ (i.e. Dowland and Spenser) refer to Sir George Carey, who in 1596 succeeded his father as second Baron Hunsdon. To Sir George, Dowland dedicated his *First Book of Ayres* in 1597, and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Spencer of Althorpe, was a friend and patroness of Spenser, who dedicated to her his ‘Muiopotmos’ (1590) by way of acknowledging her ‘great bounty’ to him as well as the tie of kindred between them.\n\nThe fourth item in Barnfield's ‘Poems’ of 1598 was headed ‘An ode’. This is the concluding poem (No. XX), filling the last four pages, of *The Passionate Pilgrim* of 1599. The reproduction in the later volume is again verbatim, save for the substitution of roman letters for a few italics. Although Jaggard here employed a printed text, a private transcript of Barnfield's Ode seems to have strayed into circulation, and that was printed for the first time in *England’s Helicon*. There we find a greatly abbreviated version of Barnfield's Ode. The last thirty lines, which figure in both Barnfield's *Poems* and in *The Passionate Pilgrim*, are omitted, and after the twenty-sixth line there is introduced a concluding couplet which is not found in either of the preceding volumes. These two lines run:\n\nEven so, poor bird like thee,\nNone alive will pity me.\n\nOf the twenty-six lines, which appear in all three books, the text in *England’s Helicon* varies little from that in the other collections. *England’s Helicon* in line 22 reads ‘Ruthless beasts they will not cheer you’, instead of ‘Ruthless Beares’, &c., as in both the earlier printed versions.\n\n¹ There was a crude sort of justice in the attribution of Barnfield's verse to another.
