"The Passionate Shepard to His Love"

In this poem, Christopher Morlowe expresses his love for a woman (who remains unnamed throughout the poem). The shepard seems to be very materialistic when it comes to building their relationship. He talks about giving her "a gown made of the finest wool" and "fair lined slippers for the cold, with buckles of the purest gold." He would giver her all these valuable things if she would be his love in return. It seems to me that he believes love can be bought.
