During his life Marvell was better known as a Member of Parliament (1659-78) and a supporter of Oliver Cromwell. “Had we but world enough, and time,Such coyness lady were no crime…But at my back I always hearTime's winged chariot hurrying near…The grave's a fine and private place,But none, I think, do there embrace.”
