Saint Robert Southwell, SJ (1561? - 1595)

Roman Catholic priest of the Society of Jesus, missionary, poet, and martyr.

Thrown into the Tower of London for being a Catholic priest during the dark period when Catholicism was outlawed in England, he was tortured thirteen times and finally executed (hung, drawn, and quartered) at Tyburn by order of Queen Elizabeth I.

Most literary critics agree that his poetry and prose influenced many figures in English literature, including William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson.

Quotes by Robert Southwell (?)

“Gift better than Himself God doth not know,
Gift better than God no man can see;
This gift doth here the giver given bestow
Gift to this gift let each receiver be;
God is my gift, Himself He freely gave me,
God's gift am I, and none but God shall have me.”
― Robert Southwell, Collected Poems

“My ancestors are turned to clay,
And many of my mates are gone ;
My youngers daily drop away,
And can I think to 'scape alone?
No, no, I know that I must die,
And yet my life amend not I.”
― Robert Southwell
