Because of a reference in his poem, "Tears to Thamysis", it is known that he was educated at Westminster. In 1627 he was a chaplain to the unlucky expedition to the Isle of Rhe. He died unmarried, but wrote erotic poetry to a woman named Julia. Swinburne called him England's greatest song-writer, and the 17th-century English composer Henry Lawes set some of his songs to music. His religious poetry was collected in "His Noble Numbers," which is contained in a larger collection, Hesperides.
