A poem by Sir Walter Raleigh 

The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd

If all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee and be thy love. Time drives the flocks from field to fold When Rivers rage and Rocks grow cold, And Philomel becometh dumb; The rest complains of cares to come. The flowers do fade, and wanton fields To wayward winter reckoning yields; A honey tongue, a heart of gall, Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall. Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses, Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten: In folly ripe, in reason rotten. Thy belt of straw and Ivy buds, Thy coral clasps and amber studs, All these in me no means can move To come to thee and be thy love. But could youth last and love still breed, Had joys no date nor age no need, Then these delights my mind might move To live with thee and be thy love.

Sir Walter Raleigh  (1552–1618)

Raleigh's poem is a response to a poem by Christopher Marlowe entitled The Passionate Shepherd to his Love.

The Haunted Tower of London

The Tower of London is a historic castle located in central London, England, and is famous for its many ghost stories and alleged hauntings. The tower was originally built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century and has been used for many purposes throughout history, including as a royal residence, a prison, and a place of execution.

One of the most famous stories associated with the Tower of London is the legend of the ghost of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII. Anne was executed on charges of adultery and treason in 1536, and her ghost is said to haunt the tower, particularly in the area known as the White Tower, where she was imprisoned before her execution.

Another famous ghost associated with the Tower of London is that of Sir Walter Raleigh, who was imprisoned there for many years before being executed in 1618. His ghost is said to haunt the Bloody Tower, where he was held captive, and is said to be seen smoking a pipe.

Other famous ghosts associated with the Tower of London include the ghost of King Henry VI, who was murdered in the tower in 1471, and the ghost of the Princes in the Tower, who were famously imprisoned there in the 15th century and were never seen again.

The Princes in the Tower refers to two young brothers, Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, who were the sons of King Edward IV of England. After their father's death in April 1483, the boys were placed under the protection of their uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who was appointed as Lord Protector by their mother's family.

However, shortly thereafter, Richard had the boys declared illegitimate, claiming that their father's marriage to their mother was invalid. He then had himself declared king as Richard III, and the boys were placed in the Tower of London, ostensibly for their own safety. They were last seen in public in the summer of 1483, and their fate has remained a mystery ever since.

Many historians believe that Richard III had the boys murdered in order to eliminate any potential rivals to his throne. In 1674, the remains of two young boys were discovered under a staircase in the Tower of London, and many people believe that these were the remains of the Princes in the Tower. However, it has never been conclusively proven that these were indeed the boys' remains, and the mystery of their disappearance remains one of the most enduring and fascinating mysteries in English history.

Over the years, many visitors to the Tower of London have reported seeing and hearing strange things, including unexplained noises, ghostly apparitions, and the feeling of being watched. While some people believe that these reports are evidence of genuine hauntings, others remain skeptical and believe that the stories are simply myths and legends that have been passed down through the years.

Hey

Sorry for being completely random, and diving into your asks, but I remembered that a story of yours referenced Marvell's To His Coy Mistress, and I recently came across this.

(Which you may well know already, but if not, it's definitely worth passing on/sharing. I think. )

(Not written by a woman, unfortunately, but still.)

Cheers

Ahhhh this is so cool! Thanks so much @margot-le-snail, this is awesome. Sharing the link here for everyone else.

The exchange reminds me a bit of the dialogue between "Passionate Shepherd to His Love" by Christopher Marlowe and "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" by Sir Walter Raleigh. Have you seen those?

Never apologize for bringing poetry to my inbox! And it's lovely to hear from you, thanks for sharing this. 💜

"What is our life?" -- Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?-1618)

What is our life? A play of passion, Our mirth the music of division; Our mothers' wombs the tiring houses be, Where we are dressed for this short comedy; Heaven the judicious sharp spectator is That sits and marks still who doth act amiss; Our graves that hide us from the searching sun Are like drawn curtains when the play is done. Thus march we playing to our latest rest -- Only we die in earnest, that's no jest.

The Boyhood of Raleigh, John Everett Millais, 1870

[inlovewithquotes]

If all the world and love were young,

And truth in every shepherd's tongue,

These pretty pleasures might me move

To live with thee, and by thy love.

Time drives the flocks from field to fold,

Whom rivers rage and rocks grow cold;

And Philomel becometh dumb,

The rest complains of cares to come.

The flowers do fade, and wanton fields

To wayward winter reckoning yields;

A honey tongue, a heart of gall,

Is Fancy's spring, sorrow's fall.

Thy gown, thy shoes, thy bed of roses,

Thy cap, the kirtle, and thy posies,

Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten,

In folly ripe, in reasons rotten.

Thy belt of straws and ivy buds,

Thy coral clasps and amber studs;

All these in me no means can move

To come to thee and by thy love.

But could youth last, and love still breed.

Had joys no date, nor age, no need,

Then these delights my mind might move

To live with their and be thy love.

Literature fun fact of the day:

Sir Walter Ralegh, a prominent figure within Queen Elizabeth's court was known as a poet, courtier, historian, and explorer. He was not, however, known as Sir Walter "Raleigh". The spelling - Raleigh - is a modern spelling of the adventurers name. Ralegh used a variety of spellings for his name, "Ralegh" was the most common, but he never once spelt his name using an -eigh- at the end.
