Henry Carey (Генри Кэри)


A Maiden's Ideal Husband


Genteel in personage,
Conduct, and equipage,
Noble by heritage,
Generous and free:
Brave, not romantic;
Learned, not pedantic;
Frolic, not frantic;
This must he be.

Honor maintaining,
Meanness disdaining,
Still entertaining,
Engaging and new.
Neat, but not finical;
Sage, but not cynical;
Never tyrannical,
But ever true.



Henry Carey's other poems:
  1. The Distracted Lover
  2. The Distress'd Father or, the Author's Tears over his Dear Daughter Rachel
  3. The Ballad of Sally in Our Alley
  4. An Honest Yorkshireman
  5. Ode to Eloquence
