Pastoral Poetry~~A Study in Contrasts: The Passionate Shepherd to His Love- Marlowe & The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd – Raleigh

I’m trying to study for my English course and I need some help to understand this question.

MUST HAVE GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF Renaissance Poetry

Shepherd or Nymph?

Discuss the differences between the two perspectives on love presented in The Passionate Shepherd to His Love and The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd.~~~See attached PDF
