    how did the author dedicate his love only for his loved one. Having this kind of poem in my mind makes me feel the right things to do and to think while being in love with a person.

    “False love, desire, and beauty frail, adieu! Dead is the root whence all these fancies grew,” (Sir Walter Raleigh). Raleigh portrays the love of poets as false love, which is similar to the way William Shakespeare describes it in Sonnet 130, where he mocks the way other poets exaggerate their muses’ beauty.

    a combination of pastoral and carpe diem poetry that invites its subject, with the incentives of gifts and paradise, to join its speaker in a natural utopia—it embodies the trend of poetry and invention through pastoral imagination. In comparison, Walter Ralegh’s “The Nymphs Reply to the Shepherd” is on the side of reason and philosophy, widely recognized as a refuting reply that uses Marlowe’s own structure against him to reject the Shepherd’s invitation. The question then becomes, if Ralegh’s response

Lippmann also uses Voltaire’s
