back to nature sentiments and romanticism. In the first line of the first stanza of the passionate shepherd to his love, says “come live with me and be my love.” Nymphs reply to the shepherd response is contradictory to this on the first line of the first stanza the speaker says “if all the world and love were young” this shows that nymph feels the world doesn’t remain young and neither does love.

poem that highlights the positive atmosphere the shepherd believes he can provide for the nymph, If she were to come to be with him as his lover.

Compare And Contrast Compare And Contrast Many differences occur between the poem, “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” and “The Nymph to the Shepherd.” These differences are mostly with themes, imagery, and diction. “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” was written by Christopher Marlowe and it was the first written of the two poems. “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” was written in response to that poem, but it was written by Sir Walter Raleigh. The themes to these two poems vary greatly

to the young girls, aged nine to fourteen, that he is interested in as “nymphets”. In classical mythology, a nymph is a divine young woman, who is often depicted as both virginal and promiscuous; seductive and innocent.

The great playwright Christopher Marlowe also wrote one of the most famous lyrical poems in British literature, "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love." In this pastoral portrait, Marlowe reveals the shepherd's desire for a certain young lady to be his love. In "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd," Sir Walter Raleigh voices the young lady's answer to this invitation. The two poems share the identical structures of rhyme scheme and meter.

The Nymph’s view on her ideal love is infinite, nonmaterialistic and realistic which contradicts the Shepherd’s view on ideal love—youthful

love/And we will all the pleasures prove/That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,/Woods, or steepy mountain yields.” (lines 1-4). He wants to, ensure that love is forever lasting, it will always be around and it will never die.

The nymph can’t accept the shepherd because of “time” the nymph is realistic and knows that he is a mortal and everything that he offers is mortal, which means that it will eventually expire ( Raleigh 5). The poems have similar characteristics in their worldview of love. The worldview in the Raleigh’s poem is that the shepherd’s love is unrealistic.
