Metaphysical & Cavalier

Fulke Greville

1554–1628

Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke (1554–1628), was an English poet and statesman, the close friend and biographer of Philip Sidney.

His philosophical sequences, published posthumously as Certaine Learned and Elegant Workes, weigh monarchy, religion, and human frailty in dense, difficult verse.
