The pen wherewith thou dost so heavenly sing Made of a quill from an angel's wing.
"Henry Constable" was an English poet, known particularly for Diana, one of the first English sonnet sequences. In 1591 he converted to Catholicism, and lived in exile on the continent for some years. He returned to England at the accession of James VI and I/King James, but was soon a prisoner in the Tower and in the Fleet. He died an exile at Liège/Liege in 1613.
