On Her Loving to Equally
In Aphra Ben's "On Her Loving to Equally," she describes her feelings for two different lovers. She goes on to say that when she is one of her lover’s arms, she longs for the other, and her heart is divided. She can't seem to make a choice in between her two lovers. This poem is written like a confession, in hope of advice. She makes it seem as though she’s writing it to cupid. I think that these strong feelings for two are making her feel, increasingly uneasy and she is beginning to realize that this cannot go on for much longer. She is awaiting a sign for advice for her decision.
