EncyclopediaCarey, HenryCarey, Henry, 1687–1743, English author. After the first collection of his poems appeared in 1713, he turned to writing for the stage. Primarily a writer of farce comedy, his greatest success was Chrononhotonthologos (1734), a burlesque on theatrical bombast. He is best remembered, however, for his songs, in particular the ballad “Sally in Our Alley.” The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed. Copyright © 2007, Columbia University Press.
