To His Coy Mistress

In "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell I feel the speaker describes how he feels towards his beloved. He describes himself has being shy in the second line "This coyness, lady, were no crime.He also describes his love as being young and that it is growing for her more than she would ever know. In line 25 "Thy beauty Shall no man be found..." might appear negative to the reader but he is only trying to make known the essence of time. "Time is winged chariot hurrying near" (22) Is a great example for time creeping up on him. He wants to cherish his love and be with her for eternity. In the end the speaker explains how your can't make the sun stand still shows me that he wants to hold on to her love forever.
