Carew

Famous quotes containing the word carew:

    Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
    When June is past, the fading rose;
    For in your beauty’s orient deep
    These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.

    Ask me no more whither do stray
    The golden atoms of the day;
    For in pure love heaven did prepare
    Those powders to enrich your hair.
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

    I press not to the quire, nor dare I greet
    The holy place with my unhallowed feet;
    My unwashed Muse pollutes not things divine,
    Nor mingles her profaner notes with thine;
    Here humbly at the porch she listening stays,
    And with glad ears sucks in thy sacred lays.
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

    The weary pilgrim to thy roof;
    Where if, refresh’d, he will away,
    He’s fairly welcome; or if stay,
    Far more; which he shall hearty find
    Both from the master and the hind.
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
