To his coy mistress by Andrew Marvell

To his coy mistress is a love poem by Andrew Marvell.

In the first stanza, the speaker tells his beloved that he is very kind to her, she declares that if she is in the world she will worship her body. Lovers think how they can spend their love day Lover says that a hundred years will just praise the eyes of his beloved and two hundred years of praising each and every mother of her.

In the second Stanza, the voice of poetry has changed, and the speaker says that he does not always have time in the world and he dies to the virgin. He can hear chariots coming near. Poetry says that beauty will not stay after time, her love songs will no longer remain, she will turn into ashes of her lust. The tomb is a personal place and there they can not love. Poetry says that it is time to love.

In the third and final stanza, the speaker effectively conveys their arguments that they will not be permanently small and should take advantage of them when they can. It's a young day and they should love.
