"To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell consists of three stanzas. Each stanza is varying in length and presents different arguments to convince the mistress to seize the moment and embrace love and passion.
Both poems explore the theme of seduction and the passage of time. "To His Coy Mistress" uses hyperbolic language to persuade the coy mistress to seize the moment, while "To His Mistress Going to Bed" celebrates intimacy and sensuality in a more tender and detailed manner. The former focuses on the urgency of passion and the inevitability of death, while the latter revels in the pleasures of physical desire and the beauty of the female form.
