To His Coy Mistress
Andrew Marlow uses a variety of literary devices in his lyrical poem “To His Coy Mistress”. ... The speaker is begging the mistress to fullfill his needs quickly and that if he only had the time he believes that one “hundred years should go to praise” (13) her beauty and mind. ... “To His Coy Mistress” is wonderful in teaching us this lesson through Marlow’s use of meter and rhyme, hyperbole, and juxtaposition.
