The nymphs reply to the shepherd
If all the world ,and love were young,
And trouth in every shepherds tounge,
These pretty pleasures might me move
To live with thee and be thy love.
Time drives the flocks 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 and wanton fields
To wayward winterreckoning yields;
A honey tongue, a heart of gall,
If fancys spring , but sorrows 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 reason rotten.
The belt of straw and ivy buds,
The coral clasps and amber studs,
All these in me no means can move
To come to thee and be thy love .
But could youth lost 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.
BY:SIR WALTER RALEGH
The passionate shepherd to his love
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 claspsand 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
