        <description><![CDATA[This poem is an example of the pastoral genre of poetry. Pastoral refers literally to the 'pasture' or the fields where shepherds lived in the pre-industrial era. But pastoral poetry as a genre refers to the kinds of values, emotions and imagery conveyed in this poetry. Such poetry romanticizes nature, and sees romantic love as a natural corollary to living out of doors. The shepherd figures are romantic because they eschew material wealth or...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The very first line of the poem "Come live with me and be my Love," (line 1) implies the youth of both parties.  Since neither of them currently has a spouse (and are thus free to marry each other) it follows that they both might be in their young adulthood.  The rest of the stanza invites the maiden (or nymph) to whom the Shepherd is speaking to enjoy the "pleasures" of the natural landscape.  It is assumed here, also, that it is clement...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[You will find a very good outline of the poem here. As this outline says, Marlowe was writing in a very old tradition dating back to classical times in which shepherds and other rural people address someone who might or might not be physically present. In this case there is no mention of the 'love' being actually present. The shepherd makes very extravagant promises to her in his appeal and the impact would be very much reduced if this was...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The meaning of the poem is the idealization of nature and sexuality.  Mostly, Marlowe uses natural imagery to underscore his meaning.  He mentions shallow rivers, melodious birds, beds of roses, etc., to portray a sense of how natural the relationship between the man and woman is - how much a part of nature.The allusions used are few and very subtle.  The first is the mention of &quot;myrtle&quot;.  The shepard tells his lady that he...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The passonate shepherd presents the ideal of Romantic love.  The images are soft and mostly from nature (myrtle, flowers, roses, poises etc).  The Nymph's reply presents a more real side of love.  It makes the case that this would be nice IF the events and objects in the poem would last forever ... but they do not.  But could youth last and love still breed,  Had joys no date nor age no needBut the fact is that youth nor any of the joys...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are only 6 stanzas in &quot;The Passionate Shepher to His Love&quot; by Christopher Marlowe.  If you mean the 6th stanza, Marlowe presents an idealized pastoral world full of romance without the harsh realities of life for a shepherd. &quot;The shepherd swains shall dance and sing / For thy delight each May morning.&quot;  The shepherd would need to tend his flock, ward off predators, and would not have time for dancing.  This poem is a...]]></description>
