        <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>

        <description><![CDATA[Christopher Marlowe's (1564-1593)  pastoral love lyric &quot;The Passionate Shepherd to his Love&quot; is believed to have been written in 1588 when he was a student at Cambridge. It was published posthmously in 1599.The poem is the  appeal of a young shepherd to his beloved lady love &quot;to come and live with him.&quot; It is not a marriage proposal but only a 'live-in' arrangement.The tone of the poem is both idealistic and idyllic.

        <description><![CDATA[This poem is in the category of Pastorals, which Renaissance poets like Marlowe wrote to convey their thoughts and feelings about love and other subjects. Pastorals contain idealized, rural settings (&quot;...and we sit upon the rocks, seeing the shepherds feed their flocks.&quot;) In &quot;The Passionate Shepherd&quot; the speaker is the shepherd himself, and he is trying to woo an un-named love interest by tempting her with bunches of fancy...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The speaker in this poem is an unnamed shepherd who promises to do all kinds of improbable things if only the object of his affections will accept his entreaties.  The poem is passionate, but does not necessarily address true love or commitment - there is no mention of marriage, nor of plans for the future.  The shepherd seems only to be asking the his lady to come come live with him and to enjoy the pleasures of the moment.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Marlowe's poem is an idealized version of domesticity.  He is using the beauty of nature to encourage a young woman to live with him and to be his lover.  By using nature, Marlowe is asserting that this action is a natural thing, and is glorifying the sexual relationship as he glorifies the season and the natural surroundings.  Marlowe is offering a relationship to this woman, and encouraging her in the language of romance.  Although the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[If you look at the images in the poem, they are very reminiscent of a pastorial painting.  He describes &quot;hills and valleys&quot; and &quot;dale and field&quot; in a way that brings to mind the pastoral art such as “Landscape with Polyphemus” by Nicolas Poussin or &quot;Landscape with Apollo and Mercury&quot; by Claude Lorrain.  And this attempt to create a visual is continued by the very visual elements in the poem.  He describes...]]></description>
