NOTES AND QUERIES. [S"" S. VI. 133., July 17. '58. 



and are there any other portraits of Carew in exist- 

 ence ? " 



Mr. Fry's " Complete Edition " was never pub- 

 lished, nor was his query respecting the portrait 

 ever answered by Mr. Urban's correspondents. 

 Fortunately, however, the portrait, or rather the 

 double portrait of Thomas Killegrew and Thomas 

 Carew, may be now seen in the Vandyck room at 

 Windsor Castle. It appears that these two court 

 gallants had a dispute in presence of Cecilia Crofts 

 (afterwards the wife of Thomas Killegrew) so re- 

 markable as to become the gossip of the whole 

 court ; and this picture seems to have been 

 painted (in 1638) as a memorial of the circum- 

 stance. Walpole informs us that 



" Killegrew and Carey had a remarkable dispute before 

 Mrs. Cecilia Crofts, sister of the Lord Crofts, to which 

 Vertue supposed the picture alluded, as in a play called 

 The fVanderer was a song against Jealousy, written on 

 the same occasion." — Anecdotes of Painting, i. 326., edit. 

 18i9. 



Walpole is not quite correct ; the song is not in 

 The Wanderer, but in Killegrew's tragi-comedy, 

 Cicilia and Clorinda, Part II. Act V. Sc. 2. Im- 

 mediately after the song is the following note by 

 Killegrew : — 



" This chorus was written by Mr. Thomas Carew, cup- 

 bearer to Charles I., and sung in a Masque at Whitehall, 

 anno 1633. And I presume to make use of it here, be- 

 cause in the first design, 'twas writ at my request upon a 

 dispute held betwixt jMistress Cecilia Crofts and myself, 

 where he was present; she being then maid of honour. 

 This I have set down, lest any man should believe me so 

 foolish as to steal sucb a poem from so famous an author; 

 or so vain as to pretend to the making of it myself; and 

 those. that are not satistied with this apology, and this 

 song in this place, I am always ready to give them a 

 worse of my own. — Written by Thomas Killegre\v, resi- 

 dent for Charles II. in Venice, August, 1651." 



This song is also printed in Carew's Poems, 

 Songs, and Sonnets, edit. 1671, p. 82., and is 

 worthy of being reproduced, if it be only for its 

 historical connexion with the Vandyck painting at 

 Windsor : — 



" JEALOUSV : A DIALOGUE. 



" Ques. From whence was first this Fury hurl'd. 

 This Jealousy into the world ? 

 Came she from hell? Answ. No, there doth reign 

 Eternal hatred wilh disdain ; 

 But she tlie daughter is of Love, 

 Sister of Beauty. Quest. Then above 

 She must derive from the third sphere 

 Her heavenly olfspring. Answ. Neither there 

 From those immortal dames could she 

 Draw her cold frozen pedigree. 



" Quest. If nor from heaven nor hell, where then 

 Had she her birth ? Answ. In th' hearts of men : 

 Beauty and Fear did her create. 

 Younger than Love, elder than Hate. 

 Sister to both, by Beauty's side 

 To Love, by Fear to Hate allied : 

 Despair her issue is, whose race 

 Of fruitful mischief drowns the space 

 Of the wide earth, in a swoln flood 

 Of wrath, revenge, spite, rage, and blood, 



" Quest. Ob, how can such a. spurious line 

 Proceed from parents so Divine.' 



'•Answ. As streams which from their crystal spring 

 Do sweet and clear their waters bring, 

 Yet mingling with the brackish main, 

 Nor taste nor colour they retain. 



" Quest. Yet rivers 'twixt their own banks flow 

 Still fresh ; can Jealousy do so? 



" Answ. Yes, whilst she keeps the stedfast ground 

 Of Hope and Fear, her equal bound ; 

 Hope sprung from favour, worth, or chance, 

 Tow'rds the fair object doth advance; 

 Whilst Fear, as watchful sentinel. 

 Doth the invading foe repel ; 

 And Jealousy thus mixt, doth prove 

 The season and the salt of Love: 

 But when Fear takes a larger scope, 

 Stifling the child of Reason, Hope 

 Then sitting on th' usurped throne, 

 She like a tyrant rules alone. 

 As the wild ocean uncontin'd. 

 And raging as the northern wind." 



Carew, also, has a poem entitled " On the Mar- 

 riage of T. K. [Thomas Killegrew '"'] and C. C. 

 [Cecilia Crofts], the morning stormy." I may as 

 well add, that two of the most tender and grace- 

 ful pieces in Carew's volume, " The Primrose " 

 and " The Enquiry," were written by Herrick. 

 (Retro.ipective Review, vi. 225.) Since writing 

 the preceding, I find that Thomas Maitland, after- 

 wards Lord Dundrennan, edited an edition of 

 Carew's Poems, Songs, and Sonnets, ivith a Masque, 

 Edinb., 1824, crown 8vo., of which only 125 

 copies were printed. This edition I have not seen. 



Permit me to conclude with a query : Who is 

 the Thomas Cary, the translator of The Mirrour 

 which flatters not, by Le Sieur de la Serre, 8vo., 

 1639 ? At the end of this volume are several 

 poems signed " Thomas Carj," and dated " Tower 

 Hill, August, 1638." J. Yeowell. 



MIBACnLOUS CHANGE OF SEASONS. 



(2°" S. iii. 466.) 



Gianone gives a good account of the change la 

 the Kalendar, and concludes it thus : — 



" Fu osservato, che conservandosi nella Chiesa di S. 

 Gaudioso, una caraflina di sangue di S. Stefano portata 

 in Napoli, secondo che scrive il Baronio {Martyrolog. 

 die 3 Aug.), da S. Gaudioso Vescovo Africano, la quale 

 era solita liquefarsi da sfe stessa il di terzo d'Agosto, se- 

 condo il calendario antico : da poi che Gregorio fece questa 

 emendazione, non bolle il sangue, che alii 13 d'Agosto 

 nel qual di, secondo la nuova riforma, cade la festa di 

 San. Stefano; onde Guglielmo Cave (Hist, delta Vita di 

 Martiri) scrisse, che questa sia une pruova manifesta, cite il 



* Granger (Hist, of England, iii. 414. edit. 1775) is 

 wrong in attributing the following painting to Thomas 

 Killegrew: "dressed like a pilgrim; no name, but these 

 two verses : — 



'" You see uiy face, and if you'd know my mind 

 'Tis this : I hate myself, and all mankind.' " 

 Musgrave says, "TJiis is the print of Abraham Symonds, 

 and is so inscribed in the Pepysian collection,"
