Difference in Love, or not?

In the Knight's tale, two miserable knights are locked in a dungeon and happen to see the beautiful Emily wandering in the gardens. Instantly, both prisinors are smitten with her, although Palamon sees her more of a goddess figure, while Arcite sees her as she is - a pretty woman.

As Arcite and Palamon are arguing over who should love Emily, their varying feelings show through. (Pg. 34) [Palamon to Arcite] "'I loved her first and told my grief to you as to the brother and friend that I swore to further me, as I have said before, so you are bound in honour as a knight to help me, should it lie within your might; else you are false, I say, your honour vain!' Arcite proudly answered back again: 'You shall be judged as false,' he said, 'not me; and false you are, I tell you, utterly! I loved her as a woman before you. What can you say? Just now you hardly knew if she was girl or goddess from above!'"

At first, I think their loves were different, Palamon feeling more worshiping adoration then Arcite, but after they both got out of prision and by the time they went to duel for Emily's hand, they felt the same way about this pretty girl.
