Context: I love thee, I love but thee,
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the Judgment Book unfold!
Context: From the Desert I come to thee
On a stallion shod with fire;
And the winds are left behind
In the speed of my desire.
Under thy window I stand,
And the midnight hears my cry:
I love thee, I love but thee,
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the Judgment Book unfold!

“I could not love thee, dear, so much,
Loved I not honor more.”
To Lucasta: Going to the Wars, st. 3.
Lucasta (1649)
Context: Yet this inconstancy is such
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee, dear, so much,
Loved I not honor more.

“I’ll follow thee and make a heaven of hell,
To die upon the hand I love so well.”

I but know that I love thee whatever thou art.”

How beautiful thou art!”
