Mood of To His Coy Mistress

The mood of "to His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell is light. The title of the poem helps explain what it is about. He is trying to court a women. She isn't so sure about him and he uses joking matter to win her over. "My vegetable love should grow" (11). He tells her what it would be like if she would give herself to him, "That long preserved virginity, / And your quaint honor turn to dust," (28, 29). But what if she refuses him, " The graves a fine and private place,"(31).
