UNSEEN PROSE AND POETRY
Read the passage below and answer the question
Tell me not (sweet) I am unkinde,
That from the Nunnerie
of thy chaste breast and quiet minde,
To warre and Armes I flie.
True, a new Mistresse now I chase,
The first Foe in the field;
And with a stronger faith imbrace,
A Sword, a Horse, a Shield.
Yet this Inconstancy is such,
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee (Deare) so much,
Lov'd I not Honour more.
