P317 #s 1-10

1. To give her pleasure, 3 beds of rosses, 1000 posies, flower cap, Kertle, gown, slippers, belt, and singing and dancing companions of his.
2. For her to live with him and be his lover.
3. If the joys offered had no end and they didn't age.
4. The valleys, groves, hills, fields, woods, mountains, shepards with flocks, sitting on rocks, rivers & waterfalls, and song birds.
5. She would go if he always told the truth and if every thing were young.
6. Many things are said by the heart rather than the brain when in love, It is just that a token and nothing else, she doesn't want to grow old with some guy and wants it all to stay young.
7. The Nymph is saying that the gifts will not last and most of the poem is about the fall/winter for his gifts which all die by then.
8. Marlowe is implying that love never ends in ones heart, but Raleigh is saying love has an end which is either death or some point before then.
9. The shepherd is in love and thinks his gifts will impress her (50/50 chance), and it appears that he is writing to someone who might not even know he exists.
10. The first poem is about the shepherd trying to show her he loves her by his gifts, but shes doesn't think it will last but likes every thing else.
