Read “the passionate shepherd to his love” (links to an external site.) by christopher marlowe and “the nymph’s reply to the shepherd” (links to an external site.) by walter raleigh.

background information on the two poems:
in 1566, “the passionate shepherd to his love” by christopher marlowe was published. in this poem, a modest shepherd is expressing his love to a young woman. he tries to woo her with gifts and promises in hopes that she will “come live with [him] and be [his] love.”
walter raleigh was inspired by this poem to write a response from the young woman’s perspective in the year 1600. in this poem, the young woman spurns the shepherd’s attempts to woo her and refuses his proposal.

your task:
pretend you are the young woman’s partner, and the shepherd is trying to steal your girl. you are going to create a poem from the partner’s perspective.
think about: what would you say to the shepherd? how would you ensure that your girlfriend wouldn’t leave you? what makes you better than the shepherd?
