LOVE
)
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 CLASPS AND AMBER STUDS,
AND IF THESE PLEASURES MAY THEE MOVE,
COME LIVE WITH ME, AND BE MY LOVE.
THY SILVER DISHES FOR THY MEAT,
AS PRECIOUS AS THE GODS DO EAT,
SHALL ON AN IVORY TABLE BE
PREPARED EACH DAY FOR THEE AND ME. . . .
