December 14th Pastoral Poems and Politics Andrew Marvell (1621–1678), Selected Poetry. Vol. 40, pp. 370-379 of The Harvard Classics The many-sided Marvell, who wielded a pen that was both feared and courted, is seen at his best in stirring verse. "A Garden," "Prospect of Flowers," with the "Horatian Ode upon Cromwell," show the power of his genius. (Marvell entered Cambridge, Dec. 14, 1633.)
