Hello all, Mr. Mitchell here. Just thought that I would mention a poem that some of my class suggested:

Richard Lovelace. 1618–1658

__To Lucasta, going to the Wars__

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 thou too shalt adore; I could not love thee, Dear, so much, Loved I not Honour more.

What's it about and why do you think it might be so popular?
