  1. The Pastoral Literary Term English 11 AP

  2. The Passionate Shepherd to His LoveBy Christopher Marlowe (1599 – posthumously) COME live with me and be my Love And we will all the pleasures prove   That hills and valleys, dales and fields,   Or woods or steepy mountain yields.     And we will sit upon the rocks, And see 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   Embroider'd all with leaves of myrtle. A gown made of the finest wool   Which from our pretty lambs we pull;   Fair-linèd 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.

  3. PASTORAL • The term “Pastoral” comes from pastor, which is Latin for “shepherd.” • Pastoral literature relates almost exclusively to shepherding and rustic life. • Pastoral literature always presents an idealized and/or utopian view of life in the country. (“Let’s get away from it all, move to the country, and herd sheep. That simple life would be perfect!”)

  4. I Care Not for These Ladies Thomas Campion - 1601 I care not for these ladiesThat must be woo'd and pray'dGive me sweet AmaryllisThe wanton country maid,Nature Art disdaineth,Her beauty is her own: And when we court and kissShe cries 'Forsooth, let go!'But when we come where comfort isShe never will say no. If I love AmaryllisShe brings me fruit and flowersBut if we love these ladiesWe must bring golden showersGive them gold that sell loveGive me the nut-brown lass These ladies must have pillowsAnd beds by strangers wroughtGive me a bow'r of willowsOf moss and leaves unbought,And fresh AmaryllisOn milk and honey fed.

  5. Pastoral Paintings(This one is cool because it’s not the Champs Elysees in Paris, but is rather a depiction of “Elysian Fields”…AKA Heaven.)

  6. Antoine Watteau “The Shepherds” ca. 1716

  7. Landscape with Polyphemus (can you find him?) by Nicholas Poussin

  8. Assignment – 10 Minutes – FIRM! • In your rows, create a pastoral image or poem. (There is some cotton in the craft box if you need it for your sheep. SHARE!) • Remember to depict an idealized life, lived in nature. • Present your masterpiece to the class. Ms. Smith will choose the piece that best depicts the concept. • The winning row gets popcorn and juice boxes for their film viewing later this morning. Have fun!
