To his Coy Mistress

"To his Coy Mistress"
Andrew Marvell

This poem was hilarious, mainly because the person who had my book previously wrote some awesome comments in the margins.  He crudely translated many of the lines with hilarious modern phrases, but I think his analysis is a bit off.
The first thing I noticed with this poem is the hint at prose it offers with the indented paragraphs.  This breaks up the poem into three segments, which I would not necessarily call stanzas.  The first section presents the speaker's view that he and his mistress would be together if they only had more time--possibly, he means another life.  Like, he wants to be with her, but he knows that it's not possibly in the current situation.  The middle part of the poem demonstrates his longing for their relationship, but he always hears "Time's winged chariot hurrying near" (Marvell, line 22).  This section ends with his expressing that he could only be with her in heaven, but no couples "embrace" in the afterlife.  [Or as the prior owner of my book would say, "let's bang in a cemetery".  I think that's slightly off, though... ;)]  The last part of the poem shows his desire to live life now and enjoy the present because they may not have a future relationship.
