| Summary | "The Works of Aphra Behn, Volume VI" by Aphra Behn is a collection of literary works, likely compiled in the late 19th century. This volume features various compositions, including "The Lover's Watch," "A Voyage to the Isle of Love," and miscellaneous poems that express themes of love and relationships. Behn's writing often portrays the dynamics of love, drawing upon her own experiences in the courtly context of her time. At the start of "The Lover's Watch," we meet two noble characters, Damon and Iris, who are deeply in love but separated by circumstances. The narrative unfolds with Iris's absences prompting Damon to express his affection through letters filled with longing and poetic sentiments. The unique concept introduced by Iris is the watch she sends him, which symbolizes how he should spend his time in her absence, filled with rules for lovers marked by the hours. Her watch not only serves to keep track of time but also serves as a guide for Damon's actions and thoughts while she is away, ultimately blending themes of love, distance, and desire in an engaging manner.
