Christopher Marlowe - The Passionate Shepherd to his Love

Come live with me and be my love, br And we will all the pleasures prove br That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, br Woods, or steepy mountain yields. br And we will sit upon rocks, br Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks, br By shallow rivers to whose falls br Melodious birds sing madrigals. br br And I will make thee beds of roses br And a thousand fragrant poises, br A cap of flowers, and a kirtle br Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle; br br A gown made of the finest wool br Which from our pretty lambs we pull; br Fair lined slippers for the cold, br With buckles of the purest gold; br br A belt of straw and ivy buds, br With coral clasps and amber studs; br And if these pleasures may thee move, br Come live with me, and be my love. br br The shepherds's swains shall dance and sing br For thy delight each May morning: br If these delights thy mind may move, br Then live with me and be my love.
