  William Habington - LoveToKnow 1911
WILLIAM HABINGTON (1605-1654), English poet, was born at Hendlip Hall, Worcestershire, on the 4th of November 1605.
Habington's lyrics are full of the farfetched " conceits " which were fashionable at court, but his verse is quite free from the prevailing looseness of morals.
Anthony a Wood insinuated that during the Commonwealth the poet" did run with the times, and was not unknown to Oliver the usurper." He died on the 30th of November 1654.

 William Habington
Habington married Lucy, daughter of William Herbert, Baron Powis, and a year or two after his marriage, in 1634, issued his well-known "Castara" (see Arber's English Reprints, 1870), a series of poems addressed mainly to his wife.
In 1640 Habington also published a romantic tragedy, the "Queen of Arragon", of less interest for its dramatic quality, which is small, than for special passages in it which illustrate the poet'sindependence of mind upon certain social and political questions.
Professor Saintsbury remarks of Habington that "he is creditably distinguished from his contemporaries by a very strict and remarkable decency of thought and language".

England spent much of the 15th century in a dynastic struggle between the houses of York and Lancaster, a series of wars known as the Wars of the Roses.
Living in this later period, the writers John Trussell, Sir Francis Biondi and William Habington turned to the past for subject matter and chose the Wars of the Roses.
All were clearly influenced by their era, but their treatments of the subject matter differed greatly, as did their aims in writing.
