The Passionate Shepherd to his loveChristopher Marlowe

Christopher Marlowe

Love Poem

Pastoral Style

Subject to the reply “The Nymphs Reply to the Shepherd”

1Come 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

2And we will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their

flocks By shallow rivers to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals.

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love by Christopher Marlowe 1599

3And I will make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant posies, 

A cap of flower, and a kirtle Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

4A 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;5

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.

6The shepherds' 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.
