Thomas Carew. 1589-1639.
He that loves a rosy cheek,
Or a coral lip admires,
Or from star-like eyes doth seek
Fuel to maintain his fires,—
As old Time makes these decay,
So his flames must waste away.

Then fly betimes, for only they
Conquer Love that run away.
Conquest by Flight.
An untimely grave.[200:1]
On the Duke of Buckingham.
The magic of a face.
Epitaph on the Lady S——.
