Sorry, you have to do your own work, although we're willing to help. Try thinking about meaning- which of the poets is serious? Raleigh is responding to Marlowe- is there a similar response to Browning?
Give us some idea that you've thought about things, and we'll jump in. You might also try searching- these poems have been discussed before.

Well, the EBB and the Shakespeare are similar, and the Marlowe and Raleigh are similar. Read them each through a couple of times, and see what seems to work best.

The Universal Bond What is love? How do you define love? Is there such a thing as true love? Love is a predominant theme of poetry. “How Do I Love Thee? Let Count the Ways” written by Elizabeth Browning declares her pure, spiritual love for her man. Christopher Marlowe’s “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love”, introduces a shepherd’s unyielding desire for a beautiful woman and his determination to capture her love. Lastly, “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” written by Sir Walter Raleigh is a poem that denies a blossoming nature by describing the undeniable death of its beauty and worth. They wrote their different views of love if it is real, superficial, and if it is an everlasting true love.
Love is so strong that it can take man’s emotion and lust to blind him and tool him into believing its love is a terrifying thought. “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” in which the character expresses his true affection through his loving words, actions he will take, and complete dedication. Many material goods are offered by the speaker to the woman he loves in hopes of receiving her love in return. He also utilizes the power of speech to attempt to gain the will of his love.
In contrast to Marlowe’s poem is that love cannot be based upon material things. “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd.” was written as a response to the more idealistic poem, “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love”. In the Marlowe poem, the shepherd proposes to his beloved by portraying their ideal future together: a life filled with earthly pleasures in a world of eternal spring. Raleigh’s reply, however, debunks the shepherd’s fanciful vision.
Finally, Elizabeth Browning suggests her love is so vast it can't be measured; it has no beginning or end. She uses religious language in line 4 “for the ends of being and ideal grace”, which suggests there is a purity and spiritual quality in her love. She equates her love to the best she can be. She loves him continuously and her love will endure for ever. She was free to love him, in spite of her father's wishes, and let him know it. The ending of the sonnet, Browning declares her faith in God, and she plans on loving her man in heaven, "better after death." She believes in God, and believes her love is true, pure, and spiritual.
Love can be viewed in different ways, whether it is real, superficial, or everlasting. Love is one thing that everyone must have because our spirit feeds upon it. One must have guidelines and understandings to fall in love and marry someone not because of looks or money but ones own personality and traits that you enjoy. Love is a wonderful thing.
*im trying to compare and contrast the ideas of this 3 poems..does the conclusion sums up my responses as well as discusses the universality of the ideas in the poems
