Wool Coral
Posted on Sunday, December 20th, 2009 at 3:08 amHow do you think that love is portrayed in 'The Passionate Shepherd to His Love' By Christopher Marlowe?
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant poises,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs;
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me, and be my love.
The shepherds's swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love.
It's very idealized. There are no problems with their life. The sun always shines, the flowers always bloom. But that's not how love actually would be. Christopher Marlowe, though, seems to be quite the romantic. He paints love as a powerful force that would overcome any obstacles, would make the sun shine, and would never fade. Basically, he paints it very unrealistically.
As an extra bonus, here is a fabulous poem written by Sir Walter Raleigh in response to this one. If you have time, give it a read- it's my favorite poem of all time.
The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd
If all the world and love were young,
And truth in every shepherd's tongue,
Those pretty pleasures might me move
To come with you and be your love.
Time drives the flock from field to fold,
When rivers rage and rocks grow cold,
And Philomel becometh dumb,
The rest complains of cares to come.
The flowers do fade, and wanton fields
To wayward winter reckoning yields;
A honey tongue, a heart of gall,
Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall.
Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses,
Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies
Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten
In folly ripe, in season rotten.
Thy belt of straw and ivy buds,
Thy coral clasps and amber studs,
All these in me no means can move
To come to thee and be thy love.
But could youth last and love still breed,
Had joys no date nor age no need,
Then these delights my mind might move
To live with thee and be thy love.
