[00:00.40]The Passionate Shepherd To His Love
[00:02.42]by Christopher Marlowe
[00:04.36]Come live with me and be my love,
[00:07.82]And we will all the pleasures prove,
[00:11.29]That Valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
[00:13.42]Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
[00:15.88]And we will sit upon the Rocks,
[00:19.24]Seeing the Shepherds feed their flocks,
[00:21.73]By shallow Rivers to whose falls
[00:23.58]Melodious birds sing Madrigals.
[00:27.28]And I will make thee beds of Roses
[00:30.94]And a thousand fragrant posies,
[00:33.80]A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
[00:36.14]Embroidered all with leaves of Myrtle;
[00:39.36]A gown made of the finest wool
[00:43.32]Which from our pretty Lambs we pull;
[00:45.87]Fair lined slippers for the cold,
[00:48.30]With buckles of the purest gold;
[00:51.20]A belt of straw and Ivy buds,
[00:54.92]With Coral clasps and Amber studs:
[00:57.36]And if these pleasures may thee move,
[01:00.15]Come live with me, and be my love.
[01:04.13]The Shepherds’ Swains shall dance and sing
[01:08.55]For thy delight each May-morning:
[01:11.55]If these delights thy mind may move,
[01:15.12]Then live with me, and be my love.
