In Stanza 3, l. 4, ‘nymphs looke peeping’ is better than any of the printed readings (i.e. ‘back creeping’, ‘blacke peeping’, or ‘backe peeping’). Finally, in l. 7,\n\nAlle our evening sportes from greenes are fled\nis more pictorial than:—\nAll our euening sport from vs is fled.\n\nShakespeare’s tutor in tragedy, Marlowe, may be safely No. XIX. Marlowe’s lyric. credited with the authorship of the familiar lyric ‘Come live with me and be my love’, which is the nineteenth piece in the miscellany, and stands fifth in the appendix of ‘Sonnets To sundry notes of Musicke’. It is in four alternately riming stanzas. To it is appended a single stanza of like metre, entitled ‘Loues answere’; this stanza has been assigned on good grounds to Sir Walter Raleigh.\n\nThe four stanzas of the substantive poem reappear in\n\nThe last four lines are omitted from the Harleian MS.\n\n<!-- [Page 325](arke:01KG6QFYFSDQ10D4WP5JJGS8ZV) -->\n36\nTHE PASSIONATE PILGRIM\n\nEngland's Helicon, with the addition of two stanzas in the fourth and sixth places, and the whole is signed ‘Chr. Marlow’. The presence of these two new stanzas, and the slight variations between the two texts at other points’, indicate that different manuscripts were employed by the two compilers, and that the editor of England’s Helicon did not borrow direct from The Passionate Pilgrim.’\n\nAs in the case of the poem ‘My flocks feed not’, the air to\n\nSurvival of the tune.\n\n‘For example, the two lines 1 and 20 in England’s Helicon both open with the words ‘Come liue with me’, instead of with ‘Liue with me’ (line 1) or ‘Then liue with me’ (line 16), as in The Passionate Pilgrim.\n\nThe lyric enjoyed great popularity in Shakespeare’s day. Marlowe somewhat derisively quotes two lines in his *Jew of Malta*, where Ithamore addresses Bellamine:—\n\nThou in those groves, by Dis above,\nShalt live with me and be my love.\n\nShakespeare also introduces a stanza into the Merry Wives of Windsor, iii. 1. 17–19, where Sir Hugh Evans hums over the last two lines of the second stanza and the first two of the third. Sir Hugh sings:—\n\nTo shallow rivers to whose falls\nMelodious birds sing madrigals.\nThere will we make our beds of roses\nAnd a thousand fragrant posies.\n\nThere were numerous imitations of the song. One, entitled ‘Another of the nature’, in England’s Helicon begins:—\n\nCome live with me and be my deare\nAnd we will revill all the yeare,\nIn plaines and groves, on hills and dales\nWhere fragrant ayre breeds sweetest gales.\n\nAnother by Dr. Donne was called ‘The Bait’, and opens thus:—\n\nCome liue with me and be my love\nAnd we will some new pleasures prove\nOf golden sands and crystal brooks\nWith silken lines and silver hooks.\n\nCf. Donne’s Poems, 1635, p. 39.\n\nIn his *Poste with a packet of Mad Letters*, 1637, 4to, Nicholas Breton attests the continuance of the piece’s popularity:—‘You shall heare the old song that you were wont to like well of, sung by the black browses with the cherrie-cheeke, under the side of the pide-cowe: ‘Come, live with me, and be my love’: you know the rest, and so I rest.’\n\n<!-- [Page 326](arke:01KG6QFYFJDN5R6BGEDF7B1B9S) -->\nTHE PASSIONATE PILGRIM 37\n","title":"Chunk 20"},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG6S4FQ9B05TDSVW2G3VD6WR","peer_type":"chapter","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA","peer_type":"file","predicate":"extractedFrom"},{"peer":"01KG6NWQ2H2K4PGG7H4ZHYCZ3Y","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG6S6WB4G13J8VTT8SB9A743","peer_type":"chunk","predicate":"prev"},{"peer":"01KG6S6WB4GHSRS0N6KKQB59HK","peer_type":"chunk","predicate":"next"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-30T06:24:52.580Z","ts":"2026-01-30T06:24:57.358Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF0H3YRP9ZSM033AM0QJ47H"}}
