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,	        5 The first foe in the field; And with a stronger faith embrace A sword, a horse, a shield. Yet this inconstancy is such As thou too shalt adore;	                       10 I could not love thee, Dear, so much, Loved I not Honour more.

summery - this poem is evidently pro war, the protagonist shows his love for war when he says "a new misstress now i chase", this shows he has no passion for love anymore but the new person he wants is a man in war. this shows he is very belligerent.
