Everything you need to understand or teach A Rapture by Thomas Carew.
"A Rapture" is a poem by early modern English "cavalier" poet Thomas Carew. Carew's poems tend to focus on themes of sensuality and desire. "A Rapture" is the most explicit, and most famous, example of this theme in his work. It was likely authored during his time in London in the late 1620s, though an exact date cannot be determined. The details of its publication history are inconclusive, though we know that it was in broad circulation during the latter half of this decade.
