John Suckling was an English poet who was born in 1609. He is remembered as a Cavalier poet and for inventing cribbage. Of his many poems, his most commonly studied is ‘Ballade upon a Wedding.’ He is also remembered for his drama, including Aglaura and The Goblins.
‘The Constant Lover’ by Sir John Suckling presents an interesting view of love. It’s told from the perspective of a man who has recently fallen for a new woman.
Out upon it, I have lov'd
Three whole days together;
And am like to love three more,
If it prove fair weather.
