Excerpt from The Poems of Thomas Carew Ad Psychem. Maiden Fair, we bring to thee Choicest Lyric Poesy, Such as our world rarely hears, After five times fifty years: No crude jests of mocking tongue; Sweeter songs were never sung, When both Time and Love were young. Hearken strains from One who knew How to praise, and how to sue: Celia's lover, Tom Carew. He had bask'd in Beauty's smile, Learn'd to prize her daintiest wile, Yet could chide her, when he found She would crush him to the ground; Gave her worship, gave her fame - Though we may not guess her name; Saw her fickle, coy and cold, Sometimes radiant, with the gold Nimbus of her hair (like thine, Where my fingers love to tvine): Now, a sun, begirt with rays; Then, chill, with a moon-lit haze Of impenetrable sadness, Driving men to gloom or madness, Till she won them back to gladness.
