Discussion: TO HIS COY MISTRESS

In Andrew Marvell's poem, "To His Coy Mistress", Andrew pours his heart out to a young lady, confessing his love and affection for her by proposing that they should become more than just casual acquaintances. By Andrews words, "But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near;", leave me to believe that when Andrew wrote this poem, he was most intuitively much older than the young lady in question and by description of the young lady being coy, leave me to believe that he saw her as enjoying the attention of others as well as himself because of her looks and figure. Knowing this could quiet possible become a problems between them if she thought only of her beautiful appearance  for attention rather than trusting in the true love within her heart he writes, "Thy beauty shall no more be found, Nor in thy marble vault shall sound", this is a convincing piece to appeal to the Young lady's vanity and persuade her to want more out of life with him than just fleeting moments of admiration from others.
