Richard Lovelace LXXXIII. To Lucasta, on Going to the WarsT
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind,
To war and arms I fly.
The first foe in the field;
And with a stronger faith embrace
A sword, a horse, a shield.
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee, Dear, so much,
Loved I not Honour more.
