Francis Bacon dedicated the Translation of Certain Psalmes to this author, who penned several collections of proverbs and advice including Jacula Prudentum and A Priest to the Temple. The son of the arts patron to whom John Donne dedicated his Holy Sonnets, his first published works in 1612 were poems elegizing the recently deceased heir apparent, Prince Henry. While dying at the age of 40, he gave his friend Nicholas Ferrar the manuscript of 160 religious poems that would become his sole posthumous collection. Famed for "pattern poems" like Easter Wings, for ten points, identify this British metaphysical poet whose enormously popular 1633 posthumous collection The Temple includes "Affliction I" and "The Collar."
