The best way to analyze the figures of speech in Marlowe`s
`The Passionate Shepherd to His Love` is to look at treatises on figures of speech
written by Marlowe`s near contemporaries such as George Puttenham, Angel Day, Abraham
Fraunce, Richard Sherry, and George Puttenham. On the level of figures of sound, Marlowe
uses alliteration frequently, especially on stressed syllables within a clause, e.g.
``may-morning`, ``mind ... move`. Metaphor appears in the line `melodious birds sing
madrigals`(note also the alliteration), in that it is an indirect comparison of bird
song with elaborate Italianate music. Much of the poem involves hyperbole, or
exaggeration, e.g. àll the pleasures, thousand fragrant,
etc.
