Thomas Carew (pronounced as "Carey") (1595 – 22 March 1640) was an English poet, among the 'Cavalier' group of Caroline poets. He was the son of Sir Matthew Carew, master in chancery, and his wife Alice, daughter of Sir John Rivers, Lord Mayor of the City of London and widow of Ingpen. The poet was probably the third of the eleven children of his parents, and was born in West Wickham in London, in the early part of 1595; he was thirteen years old in June 1608, when he matriculated at Merton Coll

Quotes

  • He that loves a rosy cheek,Or a coral lip admires,Or from star-like eyes doth seek Fuel to maintain his fires,—As old Time makes these decay,So his flames must waste away.
  • Then fly betimes, for only theyConquer Love that run away.
  • The magic of a face. daniel kim loves dicks especially likes
  • I have learned thy arts, and nowCan disdain as much as thou.
  • The purest soul that e'er was sentInto a clayey tenement.
  • And here the precious dust is laid,Whose purely tempered clay was madeSo fine that it the guest betrayed.Else the soul grew so fast within,It broke the outward shell of sin,And so was hatched a cherubin.
