“What a monstrous tail our cat has got!”
The Dragon of Wantley (1737), Act ii. Sc. 1.
Henry Carey , poète et musicien anglais, fils naturel de George Savile, 1er marquis d'Halifax, né à une époque incertaine.
Il fit les paroles et la musique d'un grand nombre de chansons et de ballades qui eurent une grande vogue et qui furent réunies sous le titre de The musical Century, 1740. Il a aussi composé des pièces de théâtre fort gaies ; cependant il se pendit dans un accès de mélancolie. On lui attribue à tort l'air national God save the King. Wikipedia
