"Come" LIVE with ME and be "MY" LOVE

We don't want to make fun of Christopher Marlowe through this stuff, but we just can't help it but be amazed at how we could SEE and PAINT his work with something psychoanalytical...

starting off with....

"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"
From this lines, we could see the frail promises of the shepherd,
he could not offer his darling a legal security but only a SHORT-lived relationship...
yet what could he offer, PLEASURE... when we say pleasure, are we referring to the SEXUAL pleasure here?
coz if we are, then the shepherd will take you all the way,,,,
through" valleys, groves, hills and fields, woods, or steepy mountain yields"
very nature loving this shepherd is and for sure, he would want to explore these places with you
and explore also your wonderful valleys (*hint*), groves (*the deepness"), hills (What's with the woman that is bulgy?),woods (the greenery) and steepy mountain (*hint*). All of these points out to the various wonders a man could find on the majestic creation called woman....

"And we will sit upon rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,

By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals."

It implies what happens before the *ehemmm* ;the rock is described as something hard, so is he inviting the girl to sit upon his *rock*?
If we interpret this as something related to the act, we could say that the shepherd will feed his flock, the shepherd will feed his "desire" that is being with the woman that is the object of his desire....the shallow river refers to the treasure of the woman (the woman's genitals) flowing with the juice which being constantly being pursued by the "bird" of the shepherd through his "madrigals" (songs of love) ;we could also interpret the bird and the madrigal as the melodious harmony that will be produced when they start their love-making, "when the bird has reached the shallow rivers"

"And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant poises,"
In this lines, the shepherd announces that he can make the nymph feel like she's in a bed of roses, the bed is the material bed where which the shepherd wants the nymph to feel like she's in a bed of roses. Roses (flowers) usually implies something sexual in nature

"A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;

Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;

A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs;"

These statements call for intimacy... the shepherd mentioning about a woman's garments simply denotes that he wants to be intimate with her, this also implies the men's desire... "Let me dress you up so that i may have the right to unclothe you."

"And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me, and be my love.

This statement is the reminder of the shepherd to the nymph that if she wants to experience what he has to offer then she should accept it..

"The shepherds's swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning:"

The swains, a.k.a. horses refers to the woman that she will be owned by the shepherd to dance and sing for him for his delight (be his private's private libido activator), May mornings are supposed to be a time when people are at their utmost high energy... so we could only imagine how high their mornings might be...

"If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love. "

This statement calls for the nymph to decide for herself if she would accept the shepherd's woes.
the shepherd is hinting on the usage of the mind in which the pleasure center is located....
so if this is so... he wants the nymph to listen to the desires of her mind...
for her to live with him and be his LOVE...

and by the way... adding an "O" to the word "NYMPH" would give us the word "NYMPHO" which refers to someone who is addicted to the sexual act...
