Summary:Roberts examines Thomas Nashe's Have with You to Saffron-Walden. The book contains a hitherto unnoticed allusion to Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, patron of Nashe's enemies Gabriel and Richard Harvey. It's largely a mock-biography of Gabriel, but near the beginning Nashe inserts an attack on Richard, a clergyman who had written on astrology, mentioning a work of his no longer extant. A great deal of the work is occupied with mockery of Gabriel Harvey's Pierces Supererogation, which Nashe often quotes.
