an English dramatist of the Jacobean era. He worked on at least five plays for Henslowe in this era, either alone or with collaborators who included Cyril Tourneur, John Fletcher, Nathan Field, and Philip Massinger. None of these plays, with titles like Machiavel and the Devil, The Arraignment of London, and The She Saint, have survived. Daborne is credited with the authorship of only two extant plays, both of which could be described, in some measure, as swashbucklers
