FIND THE IMAGERY OF THE POETRY

"The Passionate Shepherd to his love"

by Cristopher 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 the 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 posies,  

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’ 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.
