About Abraham Cowley

Abraham Cowley (1618 – July 28, 1667) was an English metaphysical poet. In his own time he was widely considered the greatest poet of the age.

Originators like Abraham Cowley:

Thus would I double my life's fading space;
For he that runs it well, runs twice his race.

He saw the beauties of his shape and face,
His female sweetness, and his manly grace

Fill all the glasses there, for why
Should every creature drink but I?
Why, man of morals, tell me why?
