So let's dig in. "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" is a pastoral poem, meaning it is set in an idealized version of the countryside, where life is good and the air is sweet. Plot-wise, the poem basically comes down one lover saying to another lover: "move to the country with me and once you're there we can play by the river, listen to the birds sing, and I'll even make you some bohemian chic clothing to boot."
The poem was first published—or at least part of it was—in 1599 in a hodgepodge poetry collection called The Passionate Pilgrim, but people who have spent decades in libraries studying Marlowe think that it was likely written in the mid- to late 1580s, a few years before his death. This places the composition of the poem somewhere near the beginning of Marlowe's career, and definitely before he became a bigshot in the Renaissance theater world.
