Francis Quarles was an English poet, born in 1592 and known for his religious and political poetry. He gained prominence in the early 17th century with works like "Emblems," a collection of devotional poems that blend allegory and moral teaching. Quarles served as a court poet and a government official, and his writings reflect the theological and social issues of his time, particularly the tumultuous period leading up to the English Civil War. He passed away in 1644.
