	Edmund Waller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edmund Waller (March 3, 1606 – October 21, 1687) was an English poet.
		Waller entered the House of Commons again in 1661, as M.P. for Hastings, and Burnet has recorded that for the next quarter of a century "it was no House if Waller was not there." His sympathies were tolerant and kindly, and he constantly defended the Nonconformists.
		Waller was writing in the regular heroic measure, afterwards carried to so high a perfection by John Dryden and Alexander Pope, perhaps even in 1621.

	Edmund Waller
		Edmund Waller (March 10, 1606 - October 21, 1687), English poet, was the eldest son of Robert Waller of Coleshill (then in Herts, now in Buckinghamshire) and Anne Hampden, his wife.
		Waller's lyrics were at one time admired to excess, but with the exception of "Go, lovely Rose" and one or two others, they have greatly lost their charm.
		Waller was writing in the regular heroic measure, afterwards carried to so high a perfection by Dryden and Pope, as early as 1623 (if not, as has been supposed, even in 1621).

	The Life of Edmund Waller (1606-1687)
		Edmund Waller was born march 3, 1606 in Coleshill, Hertfordshire (now in Buckinghamshire), the eldest son of a wealthy landowner.
		Waller confessed and pleaded for mercy, but his freedom lay in bribes and betrayal of his co-conspirators—Waller was fined heavily (£10,000) and exiled.
		Waller, a member of the Royal Society, brought refinement to the heroic couplet, which led to the symmetrical patterning of the Augustan heroic couplet.
