        <description><![CDATA[While these two poems are related (specifically, one is the "answer" to the other) and share many things, they are fundamentally two different types of poetry.  Let us first look at the superficial differences and similarities, and move to the deeper ones.
The meter (that is, the number of syllables and beats per line, and the placement of the stressed syllables) is very similar -- although not exactly so -- in these two poems. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The poem "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd", also called "Answer to Marlowe", is a direct reply to Christopher Marlowe's earlier poem "The Passionate Shepherd To His Love."  This satirical poem is meant, mostly tongue-in-cheek, to answer image-by-image and promise-by-promise the fanciful things the Shepherd of Marlowe's poem plans to lavish on the woman whom he wants to  "Come live with [him] and be [his] love".  The whole poem turns the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Certainly this poem is indicative of the culture of the urbane, educated man of the early 17th century that its writer, Raleigh, was.  The language and style is exactly of its time, and is in fact a self-conscious parody (or "Answer") of Christopher Marlowe's slightly earlier poem.  But this poem is not specifically about the London literary world in which Marlowe and Raleigh moved.  There are complex underlying cultures represented....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Raleigh's artistry to easy to identify.  Though perhaps not of the first order of poets as Christopher Marlowe was (whose poem "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" Raleigh was answering) he was certainly a very accomplished, refined, and creative poet.  The regularity of the meter, the cleverness of the rhymes, and the compact way in which the "Answer" is constructed and manages to put in so many images and actual "answers" to Marlowe's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Raleigh's reply to Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love," the nymph points out the realities of life. The Shepherd had concentrated only on the joys of summer and endless time. He never mentions hard work or threats to safety or the loneliness a shepherd must endure. The nymph simply points out the realities of life. She says winter will come after summer, rivers will overflow their banks, rocks get cold, birds don't always sing...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Sir Walter Ralegh's poem (also called &quot;Answer to Marlowe&quot;) is a philosophically satirical poem, so approaching it critically requires an understanding of the poem's meaning and references.  Ralegh is specifically answering Christopher Marlowe's &quot;The Passionate Shepherd to his Love&quot;, so it's important to read and understand Marlowe's poem first, and then apply criticism to Ralegh's poem with Marlowe's poem in mind....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The nymph's reply to the shepherd is one that the shepherd does not want to hear.  She rejects him.  In her reply, she says that love is inconstant and that she does not believe that love is everlasting.  Because of this and because she clearly has trust issues, she rejects the shepherd.  In addition, she takes the shepherd's poem, point by point, and explains that the things that he wants to provide her with and show her will either die...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ralegh and Marlowe were literary contemporaries, and both men belonged to a mysterious group known as the &quot;School of Night&quot; (The Literature of Renaissance England, 334).  Though there may have been personal reasons between them for Ralegh's &quot;response&quot;, clues from the poems themselves provide an interesting answer.  Marlowe's &quot;The Passionate Shepherd To His Love&quot; is a poem which calls to a lady to &quot;Come...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Nymph is concerned with growing old in its reply to the shepherd. The rivers rush in the spring because the snow from winter is melting. Spring implies rebirth. However, rivers rage because of storms and storm run-off during the fall and winter. Fall and winter imply growing older and dying. As the nymph points out:

" But could youth last and love still breed,
Had joys no date, nor age no need
then these delights my mind might move
