Answer:

The central idea highlighted in the first 8 lines of Christopher Marlowe's poem - The Passionate Shepherd to His Love speaks to the union between a man and his environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

So in the first line, he calls out to his love and then progresses from there to promise pleasure which they'd both share.

It is important to note that these pleasures are strongly related to nature. Inline 2 he promises to prove or show his love all the pleasures.

In lines 5 and 6 he references the view of watching shepherds feed their flock and in 7 and 8 he paints the picture of melodious birds singing to river falls.

So we see that as he tried to convince his love to join him in the great outdoors, there he depicts a strong connection between the beauty of nature in the rural environment and his passion towards the one he loves.
