Lovelace seems to be enthusiastic about living an honourable life, perhaps this is why he does not want to be called unkind.
Line 1: Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,...
A metaphor is the comparison between two things without the use of like or as. The poet states that one thing is another. It is usually a comparison between something concrete and something abstract.
Alliteration is the repetition of a beginning consonant. We see alliteration is a few of the lines from the poem:
Line 5: ...a new mistress now I chase
Line 6: ...The first foe in the field
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 I now 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,
Loved I not Honour more.
