CAREY

HENRY (_d._ 1743).-Dramatist and song-writer, was believed to be an illegitimate _s._ of George Savile, Marquis of Halifax. He wrote innumerable burlesques, farces, songs, etc., often with his own music, including _Chrononhotonthologos_ (1734), a burlesque on the mouthing plays of the day, and _The Dragon of Wantley_ (1744?). His poem, _Namby Pamby_, in ridicule of Ambrose Phillips (_q.v._), added a word to the language, and his _Sally in our Alley_ is one of our best-known songs. _God Save the King_ was also claimed for him, but apparently without reason.
