Thomas Smith (painter)

Captain Thomas Smith was an artist and mariner who lived somewhere between 1600 and 1700 and completed a self-portrait circa 1680. He lived in Boston and was a Puritan as evidenced by his dress and symbolism in the portrait. The painting also includes the following poem, signed T.S. (Hughes, 35)

Why Why should I the World be minding therein a World of Evils Finding:Then Farewell World: Farewell thy Jarres:thy Joies thy Toies thy Wiles thy WarrsTruth Sounds Retreat: I am not sorye.:The Eternal Drawes to him my heart:By Faith (which can thy Force Subvert)To Crowne me (after Grace) with Glory.
