... To His Coy Mistress The poem was written in the seventeenth century, by Andrew Marvell, to his mistress. It was intended to persuade her to have sex with him. It uses a formal style, and is phrased elaborately. Three sections make up this piece, and I will analyse them one by one before turning to the overall impression. It is a very personal poem, addressed to one person only - this is the impression i get from reading it. The first section is the thesis. He says he loves her, loves her truly, will worship her forever if needs be and if they were as immortal as their love there would be no problem:- 'Had we but world enough, and time, this coyness, lady, were no crime.' This statement tells her that her shyness is at fault. Implied is the sense that they are stuck in their own small worlds,
