Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which poet wrote, "Sweet April showers do spring May flowers?""
...Thomas Tusser began working at an early age as a "singing boy." Born in Essex, England, in 1524, he received the best education available at Eton and King's College, then at Trinity Hall in Cambridge. He also spent time at court, leaving in 1552 to marry and begin farming. He turned to writing poetry while continuing to farm. His first published work was "A Hundreth Good Pointes of Husbandrie." In addition to his famous "April showers" quote, he's also well known for writing, "A fool and his money are soon parted." Source: PoetryFoundation.org; MyPoeticSide.com
