Francis Quarles (1592 – 1644) was an prolific English writer and poet. He is most famous for his book Emblems, originally published in 1635. Each “emblem” consists of an illustration engraved by William Marshall (and others), a paraphrase from a passage of Scripture, passages from the “Christian Fathers,” and a concluding epigram of four lines.
