Come live with me and be my love
Focus: Marlowe’s use of words in communicating the meaning of the
poem and how his poem is a memorable one.
The poem “come live with me and be my love” is a love poem written
by Christopher Marlowe, persuading his love to come and spend some
time with him. It is a poem full of romantic and passionate words that
form natural imagery to convey the poet’s feelings and what he means.
By the way the poet uses words to persuade his love, makes the poem
similar to the poem, “To his coy mistress”.
In the first stanza, the poet says, “Come live with me and be my
love”. He just says “come” and does not add “please” to show her a bit
of urgency but in a polite or calm tone. He stresses on the fact that
he wants her to come and have a romantic time by saying, “and be my
love”. In the next sentence, “And we will all the pleasures prove”.
Already, he has started saying “we” to show that he really wants to be
with her. He also wants to inform his love that he will give her a
nice time when he says, “All the pleasures prove”. He then continues
his sentence with, “that valleys, groves, hills, and fields woods or
steepy mountains yields,” He says this to tell her where he wants them
to go which is basically nature places. He uses the nature words to
create natural imagery to show a wider imagination. Also he uses
nature because already he can feel a sense of freshness and beauty for
the two of them.
“And we will sit upon the rocks”. He says it to tell her what he
really wants then to do. He uses the word, “sit” and not “stand” to
show to his love that he wants to spend a long and comfortable time
with her. He also shows that he wants them to have a relaxing time as
he says,...
... middle of paper ...
... these pleasures may thee move, come live with me and be my
love”. In this, persona goes straight to the point telling his love
that if all that he has told her is good enough she should just come
and stay with him. There is also a feeling of him being desperate when
he says in the last line that, “come live with me and be my love”
I think that the poem is made memorable by the way the persona uses
natural imagery to relate to his feelings and by the way he uses a
very convincing and gentle tone to persuade his love to come and be
his love . This twenty line poem is also made memorable by the way the
poet uses rhymes to catch the attention of the reader and the way he
uses some old fashioned English to draw attention to the reader such
as, “flocks”. That is how the poem, “come live with me and be my love”
written by Christopher Marlowe is made memorable.

However, the reader clearly gets the sense that the young girl is giving in to the man’s proposal just as a way of making him shut up. Essentially, this means that the issue is far from over because the girl is just postponing the real discussion as she cannot bear to hear what the man keeps on proposing. As the man continues to implore her, she cries out for the man to “please, please stop” with the demand as she realizes that their conversation will not lead to a logical conclusion any time soon

Love is the greatest gift that God has bestowed upon mankind. Defining love is different for every culture, race, and religion. Walt Whitman’s love is ever changing for anyone who tries to love him or understand his work. Love can be broken down into a multitude of emotions, and feelings towards someone or some object. In order to find love that is searched for, preparations must be made to allow the full experience of Whoever You Are Holding Me Now in Hand by Walt Whitman to be pious. Walt Whitman’s poem is devoted to the fullness of love, and a description of fantasy and reality. A journey to find love starts with knowledge that both participants are willing, and able to consummate their love in judgment under God. Time is the greatest accomplice to justify the energy and sacrifice needed to start developing the ingredients needed for love to grow. Each stanza is a new ingredient to add to the next stanza. Over time, this addition of each stanza will eventually lead to a conclusion. A conclusion that love is ever changing, and people must either change along with love or never know the miracle of love.
