The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd

Commentary and Criticism

Title Significance

Figurative Language

  • A response poem to The Passionate Shepherd to His Love
  • Nymph - a voluptuously beautiful young woman
  • Voluptuous- Sexually appealing
  • Personification
  • "When rivers rage and rocks grow cold," (l. 6)
  • Alliteration
  • pretty pleasures (l. 3)
  • reason rotten (l. 16)
  • Repetition
  • "Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy bed of roses,

Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies" (l. 13-14)

  • Imagery

If all the world and love were young,

And truth in every shepherd’s tongue,

These pretty pleasures might me move

To live with thee and be thy love.

But Time drives flocks from field to fold

When rivers rage and rocks grow cold,

And Philomel becometh dumb;

The rest complains of cares to come.

The flowers do fade, and wanton fields

To wayward winter reckoning yields;

A honey tongue, a heart of gall

Is fancy’s spring, but sorrow’s fall.

Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses,

Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies.

Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten,

In folly ripe, in reason rotten.

Thy belt of straw and ivy buds,

Thy coral clasps and amber studs,

All these in me no means can move

To come to thee and be thy love.

But could youth last and love still breed,

Had joys no date, nor age no need,

Then these delights my mind might move

To live with thee and be thy love.

  • "The Nymph's Reply" and "The Passionate Shepherd" are ironic to their respective author's personalities.
  • The poem is seen as mocking traditional pastoral styles
  • More witty and well-written than "The Passionate Shepherd"
