Excerpt from Censura Literaria, Vol. 9: Containing Titles, Abstract, and Opinions of Old English Books, With Original Disquisitions, Articles of Biography, and Other Literary Antiquities
"Dulcia sunt, pura sunt, elegantia sunt, sed non sine nervis. Sententi? vero tules ut etiam ad usum civilis vit? conferant." Scaligeri de Alciati Emblematis.
"There is one poet of the reign of Charles the First, whose memory there were several attempts, about twenty years ago, to revive, particularly by Jackson, of Exeter, in his Thirty Letters; but whose poetry has sunk again from the public notice. The person I mean is Francis Quarles.
His Emblems were once a very popular work, and went through numerous editions. The first edition, as far as I have yet discovered, appeared in 1635. There was an edition in 1643; and probably more than one, even in the latter half of the following century.
