The Shepherd got Rejected
The two poems, The Passionate Shepherd to His Love and The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd, each share their own insight on their life. The second poem is a depressing reply to the first poem, which tries its hardest to get his lady to come stay with him and love him forever.

I really hope she changes her mind because this guy is pretty
