The Passionate Shepherd To His Love / Christopher Marlowe

COME live with me, and be my love;

And we will all the pleasures prove

That hills and valleys, dales 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.

In Obitum / Christopher Marlowe

NOCTIVAGI terror, ganeonis triste flagellum,

Et Jovis Alcides, rigido vulturque latroni,

Urnâ subtegitur. Scelerum, gaudete, nepotes!

Insons, luctificâ sparsis cervice capillis,

Plange! fori lumen, venerandæ gloria legis,

Occidit: heu, secum effœtas Acherontis ad oras

Multa abiit virtus. Pro tot virtutibus uni,

Hero and Leander / Christopher Marlowe

FIRST SESTIAD

On Hellespont, guilty of true-love's blood,

In view and opposite two cities stood,

Sea-borderers, disjoined by Neptune's might;

The one Abydos, the other Sestos hight.

At Sestos Hero dwelt; Hero the fair,

Whom young Apollo courted for her hair,

And offered as a dower his burning throne,

Where she should sit for men to gaze upon.

Fragment / Christopher Marlowe

I WALK'D along a stream, for pureness rare, Brighter than sun-shine; for it did acquaint The dullest sight with all the glorious prey That in the pebble-paved channel lay.

No molten crystal, but a richer mine, Even Nature's rarest alchymy ran there,-- Diamonds resolv'd, and substance more divine, Through whose bright-gliding current might appear A thousand naked nymphs, whose ivory shine, Enamelling the banks, made them more dear Than ever was that glorious palace' gate Where the day-shining Sun in triumph sate.

Dialogue in Verse / Christopher Marlowe

Jack. Seest thou not yon farmer's son? He hath stoln my love from me, alas! What shall I do? I am undone; My heart will ne'er be as it was. O, but he gives her gay gold rings, And tufted gloves [for] holiday, And many other goodly things, That hath stoln my love away.
