The Primrose is another appeal for a less intellectual love:
Should she
Be more than woman, she would get above
All thought of sex, and think to move
My heart to study her, and not to love.
If we turn back to The Undertaking, however, we find Donne boasting once more of the miraculous purity of a love which it would be useless to communicate to other men, since, there being no other mistress to love in the same kind, they “would love but as before.” Hence he will keep the tale a secret:
If, as I have, you also do,
Virtue attir’d in woman see,
And dare love that, and say so too,
And forget the He and She.
