He was a follower in the school of John Lyly and Robert Greene. He worked for a time in the Low Countries, and Germany. Employed by George Gilpin and Ralph Winwood, he may have been a spy, and certainly was an agent of the government on the ground at the time of the War of the Jülich succession of 1610. He was employed on further missions, in Poland and Scandinavia.[1]WorksHe was the author of: - Deorum Consessus, siue Apollinis ac Mineruæ querela, &c., 1591.

- The Shepheardes Complaint; a passionate Eclogue, written in English Hexameters: Wherevnto are annexed other Conceits, &c., n. d. (circ. 1594). Three short poems from this work are included in England's Helicon, 1600.
