The Passionate Shepard to His Love

When looking at Christopher Marlowe's poem "The Passionate Shepard to His Love," It is important to understand what kind of writing this is. This is a pastoral poem which is a poem used to describe the timeless, painless, beautiful life of a poem. The author walks us through what I would assume to be his pasture, which is full of beautiful and captivating things. The Shepard in this poem seems almost like he is inviting us into his life and his lifestyle. He shows us the delights of this beautiful, carefree, place, which to most reading it, would seem heavenly in comparison to the average Joe's hard labor.
