Have been meaning to update my blog for quite a while now, but have just not been able to find any time to sit down and put down my thoughts. Even now am in the middle of preparing for a presentation I need to make tommorrow...shall share a really lovely poem and skip back to work :(
Tell me not, Sweet
by Richard Lovelace
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind
For, 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 unconstancy is such
As you too shall adore;
For, I could not love thee, Dear, so much,
Loved I not honour more.
