Original text and translations
English text
- Tell 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 inconstancy is such
- As you too shall adore;
- I could not love thee, dear, so much,
- Lov'd I not honour more.
- Lyrics: Richard Lovelace - ( 1618 - 1658 )
