I could not love thee, dear, so much,
Loved I not honor more.

Additional quotes by Richard Lovelace

Though Seas and Land betwixt us both,
Our Faith and Troth,
Like separated soules,
All time and space controules:
Above the highest sphere wee meet
Unseene, unknowne, and greet as Angels greet.

Oh, could you view the melody
Of every grace
And music of her face,
You'd drop a tear;
Seeing more harmony
In her bright eye
Than now you hear.

When I lie tangled in her hair,
And fettered to her eye,
The gods that wanton in the air
Know no such liberty.

Yet this inconstancy is such As you too shall adore; I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honor more. - Richard Lovelace
