Marvell Vs Herrick

s trying to get young women to fornicate while they are young.

He tells her that he needs to marry her because he wants to be with her after he dies. Had we but enough time, and time, this coyness lady were no crime.

Marvells poem is trying to convince his girlfriend that she is his only true love and he wants to be with her forever.

I prefer Marvell to Herrick because Marvell is trying to relate to his love for his girlfriend to her, and Herrick is just trying to get young women to copulate with men while they are young. Marvells poem is a declaration of his love to her. It is a truly heartfelt poem that was written to show his undying love for her. It seems that he has tried to win over her love by showing her just how much her absolutely loves her, and wants to make their connection more than just love, he wants to make it right in the eyes of God. This pair of carpe diem poets wrote during the same time period and had similar styles but had contrasting subjects. Marvell wrote from the heart to his girlfriend to show his everlasting love for her by writing a poem about it to her, while Herrick told girls that if they dont couple while they are young they never will be able to....
