The Shepherd only focused on the joys of summer and endless time.
The nymph responds to the shepherd's proposal to "come live with me and be my love” by saying all of the things he wants to give her will fade, whither, and be forgotten; therefore, she cannot accept his offer. The nymph presents her rejection of the shepherd as really being a rejection of the world.
She is unsure of his sincerity. (by Solomon Zelman)
The main theme in "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" is that one cannot always get what one wants in life. The shepherd wanted to love the nymph, but she could not love him, similar to how flowers cannot survive in winter.
"The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" was a poem written by Walter Raleigh and is believed to have been written in response to a poem titled "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" written by Christopher Marlowe. Marlowe's poem was written in 1592, and Walter Raleigh's response poem was written in 1596.
Raleigh draws upon Marlowe’s idealistic imagery in “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” in order to present a more realistic view of nature in which time destroys beauty. For example, in the third stanza, Marlowe’s shepherd uses the image of“beds of roses / And a thousand fragrant posies” to persuade his love to come live with him in the idyllic countryside. Raleigh’s nymph draws upon and transforms this imagery when she says, “flowers do fade”and “Thy cap,thy kirtle, and thy posies / Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten:/ In folly ripe, in reason rotten”. Raleigh’s decision to transform Marlowe’s image of beautiful flowers and lovely garments into dying flowers and decaying items emphasizes the passing beautyand inevitable decay of the gifts that Marlowe describes with such idealism. Raleigh’s transformation of Marlowe’s imageryestablishes a contrast between the shepherd’s idealism and the nymph’s realism.) TRY AND SUMMARIZE IT !
