    The speaker addresses Lucasta and tells her not to think he is unkind for leaving her peaceful breast for war. While he now chases a new mistress in honor, battle, and arms, he says this inconsistency in love is such that Lucasta would approve of it too, since he loves honor even more than her.

    To Lucasta, Going off to the Wars

    Tel l me not, Sweet, I am unkind, That from the nunnery Of thy chaste breast 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 inconsistency is such As thou too shalt adore; I could not love thee, Dear so much, Loved I not Honour more.

    Richard Lovelace (1618-16-58)
