WOW! While I’m not one to find a city view appealing, I am sometimes awed by them.

                The Passionate Shepherd to His Love
                
                COME live with me and be my Love, 
                And we will all the pleasures prove
                That hills and valleys, dale and field, 
                And all the craggy mountains yield. 
                
                There will we sit upon the rocks
                And see the shepherds feed their flocks, 
                By shallow rivers, to whose falls
                Melodious birds sing madrigals. 
                
                There will I make thee beds of roses
                And a thousand fragrant posies, 
                A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
                Embroider'd all with leaves of myrtle. 
                
                A gown made of the finest wool
                Which from our pretty lambs we pull, 
                Fair linèd slippers for the cold, 
                With buckles of the purest gold. 
                
                A belt of straw and ivy buds
                With coral clasps and amber studs: 
                And if these pleasures may thee move, 
                Come live with me and be my Love. 
                
                Thy silver dishes for thy meat
                As precious as the gods do eat, 
                Shall on an ivory table be
                Prepared each day for thee and me. 
                
                The shepherd swains shall dance and sing
                For thy delight each May-morning: 
                If these delights thy mind may move, 
                Then live with me and be my Love. 
                                    Christopher Marlowe


Fountain of Love
