'Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd' Summary

In response to Marlowe's poem, Raleigh's nymph argues that the shepherd's promises of a life of luxury and pleasure are empty and that true happiness lies in the simple life of nature. She describes the beauty of the natural world and the joy she finds in her freedom and independence. The nymph's reply is a powerful and persuasive argument for the value of nature and the importance of female autonomy. It is a reminder that true happiness cannot be found in material possessions or social status, but in the simple things in life and the freedom to be oneself.
