Abraham Cowley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Abraham Cowley (1618 - July 28, 1667), English poet, was born in the city of London late in 1618. |
 | | Cowley's pamphlet on The Advancement of Experimental Philosophy, 1661, led directly to the foundation of the Royal Society, to which body Cowley, in March 1667, at the suggestion of Evelyn, addressed an ode which is the latest and one of the strongest of his poems. |
 | | On August 3, Cowley was buried in Westminster Abbey beside the ashes of Chaucer and Spenser, where in 1675 the duke of Buckingham erected a monument to his memory. |
