Richard Lovelace (1618-1657)<\/p>\n

To Lucasta, Going to the Warres
\nTell me not (Sweet) I am unkinde.
\nThat from the Nunnerie
\nOf thy chaste breast, and quiet minde,
\nTo Warre and Armes I flie.<\/p>\n

True; a new Mistresse now I chase,
\nThe first Foe in the Field;
\nAnd with a stronger Faith imbrace
\nA Sword, a Horse, a Shield.<\/p>\n

Yet this Inconsistency is such,
\nAs thou too shalt adore;
\nI could not love thee (Deare) so much,
\nLov’d I not Honour more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
