Famous quotes containing the word carey:

“One thing I am determined on is that by the time I die my brain shall weigh as much as a man’s if study and learning can make it so.”

“All ye poets of the age,
All ye witlings of the stage,
Learn your jingles to reform,
Crop your numbers to conform.
Let your little verses flow
Gently, sweetly, row by row;
Let the verse the subject fit,
Little subject, little wit.
Namby-Pamby is your guide,
Albion’s joy, Hibernia’s pride.”
—Henry Carey (1693?–1743)

“But when my seven long years are out,
O, then I’ll marry Sally;
O, then we’ll wed, and then we’ll bed—
But not in our alley!”
—Henry Carey (1693?–1743)
