Questions
1)I would like to know in the Nymph's response to the shepherd, why is she saying "and And truth in every shepherd's tongue? Does she think that the shepherd is not telling the truth? or it just means something else
2) what fact is the "universe" referring to when it says " the fact hasn't created in me a sense of obligation"?
3) what bitter refers to in the poem In the Desert?

Comments On the poems The Passionate Shepherd to His love and The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd.
These two poems are related simply because one is the reply of the other. However as we can see, words and phrases( break, wither, forgotten, etc) used in two of them do not fit the standards requirements used in these types of poem. But they do make sense in this particular case because the young lady is not accepting the shepherd’s love therefore she is using not adequate words for this type of poems.
But anyways both the request and the answer are interesting and I personally enjoyed reading them
