      Marvel's Poem To His coy Mistress is strictly a seductive poem that focuses on theme of Carpie Diem the idea of seizing a moment in time. Lines that stand out are  "For, lady, you deserve this state, Nor would I love at lower rate". Sexually speaking our older lover could take things slowly with her; if that is what she wants, then, that, is what she should have; he is committed to the conquest, a conquest that can only come about as a result of him fully satisfying her; and, no doubt it is his goal to satisfy her, though it may take thousands of years; and, he would take pleasure throughout the long wait, if, if, only if, there is some prospect of sexual fulfillment. At this point that there appears the most dramatic shift in tempo that I have ever felt in a passage of poetry. The speaker claims that there battle for love can not last forever since they at some time will die. To finish his conquest the speaker states "Thorough the iron gates of life: Thus, though we cannot make our sun Stand still, yet we will make him run". his man wants this woman, this central focus point of his sexual passion. He cannot wait, he begs her not to put off sexual union. He eloquently points out that the cares of the moment do not much matter as time is slowly absorbing them both, as it does all things.
