Cracking reading. Only change I could even think of would be to throw a glottal stop in to reckoning.

It was Sir Walter Raleigh who wrote the reply to Christopher Marlowe...

i thought this was Christopher Marlowe ?

[SpokenVerse]

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love was by Christopher Marlowe, pub.1599. It's in the Video Responses above.

Raleigh write this reply called The Nymph's reply to the Shepherd.

John Donne also wrote a version called The Bait.  There have been other responses since then.

Thank-you for posting this! Very nicely read. It would be good in a female voice too.
