You can argue that Marlowe's line is true either because
1.If you don't love at first sight then that isn't really love
2. You love only once (as Housman and his Moses) and any subsequent love is but a pale copy
3. You may think you don't love at first sight but actually, as a deep level, you really do.
By the way, is Marlowe's line itself pinched from some Greek or Roman?
