Lucasta

Experience the passion and loyalty of a cavalier poet with Richard Lovelace's collection of poems in 'Lucasta'. Lovelace, who fought for Charles I during the English Civil War, captures the essence of love and sacrifice in his works such as 'Ellinda's Glove', 'The Vintage to the Dungeon', and 'The Faire Begger'. Here's an excerpt from 'Ellinda's Glove': "Thou snowy farme with thy five tenements! / Tell thy white mistris here was one / That call'd to pay his dayly rents / But she a-gathering flowr's and hearts is gone."
