Andrew Marvell was an English poet, satirist and politician. He was a Member of Parliament and supported the Republican Oliver Cromwell against the monarchy in the English Civil War. When the monarchy was restored in 1660, Marvell somehow managed to avoid punishment for having been a Republican. Maybe the newly restored Charles II, known as "The Merry Monarch", enjoyed Marvell's poetry.
