Lucasta

Lucasta is a collection of poems written by Richard Lovelace, a 17th-century English poet. The poems in this book are love poems and are addressed to a woman named Lucasta. The poems are written in a style that is characteristic of the Cavalier poets, who were known for their romantic and chivalric themes. The poems in Lucasta are filled with imagery and metaphors that describe the beauty and grace of Lucasta, and the emotions that Lovelace feels for her. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing poems that were written before Lovelace was imprisoned for his involvement in the Royalist cause during the English Civil War, and the second part containing poems that were written during his imprisonment. The poems in the second part reflect Lovelace's feelings of despair and longing for his freedom, as well as his continued love for Lucasta. Overall, Lucasta is a beautiful collection of love poems that capture the essence of the Cavalier poets and the romantic ideals of the 17th century.Yet this inconstancy is such, As you too shall adore; I could not love thee, dear, so much, Lov'd I not Honour more.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
