Thomas Carew (1595-1640)

Thomas Carew (1595-1640) was an English Cavalier poet, whose works were usually typically sexual.

However, his one work likely to appear on the GRE Literature exam is an exception:

"An Elegy upon the Death of the Dean of St. Paul's, Dr. John Donne"


Because the GRE is in love with poems about other poets, read this one at least twice.
