Generally, Marvell uses Time (symbolic for Death) as his archenemy in the poem. To support his argument he used a number of metaphors to signify his devices, such as:

  1. The Ganges River - long, everlasting
  2. Rubies - treasure
  3. Flood - Noah's flood
  4. Conversion of the Jews - relatively a challenging task to achieve
  5. Time's Winged Chariot - commonly defined as Death
  6. Deserts of vast eternity - afterlife
  7. Marble vault - isn't it obvious?
  8. Worms - process of decomposition
  9. Birds of Prey - lustful sport
  10. One ball - embrace
  11. Iron gates of life - virginity/vagina

Why is the first stanza longer than the last to in to his coy mistress?

The first stanza of "To His Coy Mistress" is longer because it sets up the reasoning and argument the speaker will present to convince his mistress to seize the day. The last stanza is shorter as it delivers the final plea to the mistress to act quickly and enjoy life while they can. This difference in length helps build tension and urgency in the poem.
