JOHN CLEVELAND
English poet
(1613 - 1658)

He that to ancient wreaths can bring no more
  From his own worth, dies bankrupt on the score.
      - [Ancestry]

The astrologer who spells the stars, mistakes his globes, and in her bright eye interprets heaven's physiognomies.
      - [Astrology]

The marigold, whose courtier's face
  Echoes the sun, and doth unlace
    Her at his rise, at his full stop
      Packs and shuts up her gaudy shop.
      - On Phillis Walking Before Sunrise
        [Marigolds]

Had Cain been Scot, God would have changed his doom
  Nor forced him wander, but confine him home.
      - The Rebel Scot [Scotland]
