Francis Arden was a lawyer and poet. He was a Counsellor at Law, and a partner of William Coleman ("William"). In  1807 he was appointed Master in Chancery for the State of New York ("Francis"). Arden published an English heroic verse translation of Ovid's Tristia in 1821, which he dedicated to John Jay. He also published naval songs and poems to commemorate historic and civic milestones. Several of his poems, particularly "The Frigate Constitution," appear in folk anthologies of the nineteenth century (McCarty 46,122). "The Frigate Constitution," sung before the Corporation of the City of New York on July 4, 1815, was also published in 1815 in the Analectic Magazine, a literary journal edited by Washington Irving.

Arden married Hannah Steddiford on May 18, 1802 (Greene 42); they had at least three children. 

Arden died in September 1838.
