Build Background
Come live with me and be my love, A gown made of the finest wool
And we will all the pleasures prove Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Fair lined slippers for the cold,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields. With buckles of the purest gold;
And we will sit upon the rocks, A belt of straw and ivy buds,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks, With coral clasps and amber studs:
By shallow rivers to whose falls And if these pleasures may thee move,
Melodious birds sing madrigals. Come live with me, and be my love.
And I will make thee beds of roses The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing
And a thousand fragrant posies, For thy delight each May morning:
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle If these delights thy mind may move,
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle; Then live with me and be my love.
Sir Walter Raleigh
The Nymph Reply to the Shepherd
If all the world and love were young, Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of Roses,
And truth in every Shepherd’s tongue, Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies
These pretty pleasures might me move, Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten:
To live with thee, and be thy love. In folly ripe, in reason rotten.
Time drives the flocks from field to fold, Thy belt of straw and Ivy buds,
When Rivers rage and Rocks grow cold, The Coral clasps and amber studs,
And Philomel becometh dumb, All these in me no means can move
The rest complains of cares to come. To come to thee and be thy love.
The flowers do fade, and wanton fields, But could youth last, and love still breed,
To wayward winter reckoning yields, Had joys no date, nor age no need,
A honey tongue, a heart of gall, Then these delights my mind might move
Is fancy’s spring, but sorrow’s fall. To live with thee, and be thy love.
