Book Description

Excerpt from The Poems of Thomas Carew Since he wrote many of the most tender and faultless love-songs, any English Anthology would be grievously incomplete Without them. His Calum Britannieum, far superior to the ordinary Court masques of the reign, has passages of grandeur and true feeling, never wearisome. Although the flattery of King Charles I. And of his Queen, Henrietta Maria, may be deemed too laudatory by the modern code, which begrudges flattery to monarchs, and restricts it to the dispensers of patronage, place, and power, we have every reason to believe that from Carew it was loyally sincere.
