THE ISLE OF UNREST By Henry Seton Merriman 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 you too shall adore; I could not love thee, dear, so much Lov'd I not honour more. RICHARD LOVELACE. CONTENTS THE ISLE OF UNREST CHAPTER I. THE MOVING FINGER.
