Poems In Andrew Marvells poem, To His Coy Mistress, Marvell starts out by manifestation how a great deal he make loves this girl that stock-still time is non a matter, but halfway through he switches and starts to say that time is nearing and that basically if we do not do the deed now, then, And your quaint honor human activity to pitter-patter, And into ashes all my lust (29-30) In Ben Jonsons poem, To Celia, Jonson begins by laying his game on thick and saying that we need to make love, but halfway through he changes his ways and starts saying that you should not care what others say lets do it, who cares if the maids find out or even your husband, lets just do it. These poems are both carpe diem poems which means to seize the day, and that is just what the writers and the speakers of these poems are doing.Both poems start out in about the homogeneous manner, by trying to get the fe manful to be with them, but for some reason halfway through they both take the same turn a nd that turn takes them straight into lust and wild erratic behavior. In Marvells poem he basically says that if I cannot have you those worms will the irony in this is that the male organ has been referenced to a phallic object like a worm. He also talks about your quaint honor turning to dust and along with it all my lust, the quaint honor that he is talking about is that girls vagina. He is telling her that now is our time to make love and if you do not do it with me now then when you are dead the one thing that you tried to hold on to will be gone.Jonson does even worse in his poem the speaker is trying to seduce a married woman. He tells her that fame and rumors are nothing but toys and can we not betray the eyes of a few household spies. The speaker is putting everything he has into to this woman and trying to sleep with her. Tis no sin loves product to steal But the sweet theft to reveal, This poem is from the play Volpone and this poem is being spoken by Volpone, which is i nteresting because the name Volpone means fox. The mood of the poem is very smooth and sly so the name fox fits perfectly for this guy.
