Quarles (spr. kwárls), Francis, engl. Dichter, geb. 1592 in Stewards bei Rumford (Essex), erst Advokat, dann Chronist der Stadt London, starb 8. Sept. 1644. Er hinterließ zahlreiche Dichtungen meist religiösen Inhalts und von einer bizarren Originalität des Gedankens wie des Stils, neu herausgegeben von Grosart in der »Chertsey worthies' library« (Lond. 1880 bis 1881, 3 Bde.). Am populärsten blieben die »Emblems« (1635, neue Ausg. 1877, illustriert 1886).
