Tell me not,...

Vendor: DRAMATISTS

Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind,
To war and arms I fly.

Source: To Lucasta, Going to the Wars
-- Richard Lovelace, ( 1618-1658), English poet; He is remembered almost solely for two extremely graceful, melodic, and much-quoted lyrics, To Althea, from Prison and To Lucasta, Going to the Wars.
