When the Turkish sultan's son Selim Calymath arrive to demand tribute, however, Barabas's wealth is seized. He begins a campaign to the Maltese governor, Ferneze, who robbed him. With the aid of his daughter, Abigail, he recovers some of his former assets and buys a Turkish slave, Ithamore, who appears to hate Christians as much as Barabas.

CHRISTOPER MARLOWE’S POEM (1599) and the SUMMARY

THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD TO HIS LOVE

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.

And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies;
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair-lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;

A belt of straw and ivy-buds,
With coral clasps and amber-studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me, and be my love.

The shepherd-swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May-morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love.

This poem tells about a shepherd that loves a woman. The shepherd asks the woman to live with him. The shepherd promises her happiness if she wants to live with him. The shepherd tries to describe about a beautiful life with him in the countryside, and about what she will get from his flocks, like a gown made of the finest wool and a belt of straw and ivy-buds, without mentioning the dangers that could happen in the field like wolves, etc.

ROBERT BURNS’ POEMS and the SUMMARY

A Red, Red Rose

O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.

Old English or Anglo Saxon Era
English Literature, literature produced in England, from the introduction of Old English by the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century to the present. This period extends from about 450 to 1066, the year of the Norman-French conquest of England. The earliest known English poem is a hymn on the creation;
Bede attributes this to Cædmon (fl. 658–680), who was, according to legend, an illiterate herdsman who produced extemporaneous poetry at a monastery at Whitby. This is generally taken as marking the beginning of Anglo-Saxon poetry. Much of the poetry of the period is difficult to date, or even to arrange chronologically; for example, estimates for the date of the great epic Beowulf.Beowulf is both the first English literary masterpiece and one of the earliest European epics written in the vernacular, or native language, instead of literary Latin. It was owned by Sir Robert cotton. Sir Robert bound Beowulf with four other MSS in a combined codex known as Cotton MS.Vitellius A.xv between the 8th century and the late 10th century. Beowulf, the rousing Old English poem of man and monster.
The haunted mere is one of the poems of Beowulf lines 1308-1382, it was translated by Allan Sullivan and Timothy Murphy, now in the Longmans Anthology of British Literature. This excerpt was published on this site in 1999 by permission of the authors
