HENRY CAREY
English musician and poet
(1663 - 1743)

Go, call a coach, and let a coach be called;
  And let the man who calleth be the caller;
    And in the calling, let him nothing call,
      But coach! coach! coach! O for a coach, ye gods!
      - Chrononhotonthologos
         (act II, sc. 4, l. 46) [Livery]

Of all the days that's in the week,
  I dearly love but one day,
    And that's the day that comes betwixt
      A Saturday and Monday.
      - Sally in Our Alley [Sabbath]

Of all the girls that are so smart,
  There's none like pretty sally;
    She is the darling of my heart,
      And lives in our alley.
      - Sally in our Alley [Love : Women]

Genteel in personage,
  Conduct, and equipage;
    Noble by heritage,
      Generous and free.
      - The Contrivances (act I, sc. 2, l. 22)
        [Character]

Lauk! what a monstrous tail our cat has got!
      - The Dragon of Wantley (act II, sc. 1)
        [Cats]

No greater grief than to remember days
  Of joy when misery is at hand.
      - Translation of Dante [Proverbs]
