The Passionate Shepherd to his Love

The Passionate Shepherd to his Love by Christopher Marlowe (1564-93) Lute accompaniment by William Corkine Second Booke of Ayres (1612) ' Come live with me, and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove, That valleys, groves, hills and fields, Woods, or steepy mountain yields. And we will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks, By shallow rivers, to whose falls, Melodious birds sing madrigals. And I will make thee beds of roses, And a thousand fragrant posies, A cap of flowers, and a kirtle, Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle. A belt of straw, and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs, And if these pleasures may thee move, Then live with me, and be my love.'
