Give me a wench about thirteene, Already voted to the Queen… - Thomas Carew

" "
Give me a wench about thirteene,
Already voted to the Queene
Of lust and lovers, whose soft haire,
Fann’d with the breath of gentle aire Or’e spreads her shoulders like a tent,
And is her vaile and ornament:

Thomas Carew

Additional quotes by Thomas Carew

Stand still, you floods, do not deface That image which you bear: So votaries, from every place, To you shall altars rear.</p>No winds but lovers' sighs blow here, To trouble these glad streams, On which no star from any sphere Did ever dart such beams.

Ask me no more where Jove bestows, When June is past, the fading rose; For in your beauties, orient deep These flow'rs, as in their causes, steep.

The purest soul that e'er was sent
Into a clayey tenement.
