Definitions:
Close Reading: To me close reading means something that happens when you are reading deeply for meaning or for fun. If you are reading for personal enjoyment you may easily begin reading closely without knowing it. If you are reading for academic purposes then you may have to read the text closely a few times to analyze it.
Pastoral: Something spiritual or relgious. I'm guessing the word is related to Pastor.
OED: I. A person or thing associated with spiritual care.
Mistress: A woman of power.
OED: I. A woman having control or authority.
Nymph: A mythological female being.
OED: 1. Chiefly Classical Mythol. Any of a class of semi-divine spirits, imagined as taking the form of a maiden inhabiting the sea, rivers, mountains, woods, trees, etc., and often portrayed in poetry as attendants on a particular god.
