Renaissance Lyric

Christopher Marlowe’s “The Passionate Shepherd to his Love” indicates how he want his love to be with him and enjoy the natural setting.

Maybe something like this?

This area seems surreal like how Marlowe describes his setting in the poem.

In Sir Walter Raleigh’s “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd”, he implies the opposite and that love doesn’t last forever. It changes just like how seasons change.

When I was thinking about love from these poems, I saw this quote on line

 This quote was really sweet. Maybe this is what the shepherd wants to give his lover?
