Thomas), an English poet of some repute, born at London about the year 1633. He studied at the Inner-Temple, and became a barrister, but it does not appear that he ever practised; for having a turn for the fine arts, he gave a loo to his inclination that way, and acquired reputation, both as a poet and a painter. He published, in 1682, a third edition of his poems and songs, dedicated to the duke of Ormond, with a print of himself as a frontispiece: he also published a satirical romance in prose, on Richard Cromwell, soon after the restoration; which took greatly at that turn of affairs. He died about 1683.
