Robert Herrick
Thomas Carew
Richard Lovelace
Characteristics:
- use of direct and colloquial language expressive of a highly individual personality
- enjoyment of the casual, the amateur, the affectionate poem written by the way
- "cavalier" in the sense of not only being Royalists but that they distrust the over-earnest or the too intense
- avoid subject of religion
- the Mistress is no longer an impossibly chaste Goddess to be wooed with sighs, but a woman who may be spoken to in a forthright manner
- poems are celebratory of things that are much livelier than philosophy or art
