Andrew Marvell's poem titled 'To His Coy Mistress' captures his pure love and undeniable feelings for this particular lady friend of his. He is proposing the desire to share his love and life with her until their dying days. The appealing phrase "we would sit down, and think which way to walk, and pass our long love's day" makes me think of two people in love sitting on a porch on a swing holding hands professing their love to each other. The most heart string tugging phrase out of his whole poem is "for, lady, you deserve this state, or would I love at lower rate'. To me this says, I am not willing to sacrifice his love for the lady no matter what happens in life. I find his proposal quite moving and emotional therefore very convincing. The phrase "thus, though we cannot make our sun stand still, yet we will make him run" makes it sound like there is an extreme sense of urgency, like he wants to be with her before either of their lives end.
