Richard Lovelace Short Poems

Famous Short Richard Lovelace Poems. Short poetry by famous poet Richard Lovelace. A collection of the all-time best Richard Lovelace short poems


by Richard Lovelace
 Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breasts, and quiet mind,
To war and arms I fly.

True, a new mistress now I chase,
The first foe in the field;
And with a stronger faith embrace
A sword, a horse, a shield.

Yet this inconstancy is such,
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee, Dear, so much,
Loved I not honour more.
