Is love empty? Is there nothing but the pursuit of lust and no time for courtship or time to emotionally love another person? Physical love provides a quick bond but often has no emotional or lasting value. Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" develops a carefully constructed argument as the speaker tries to persuade his woman to surrender her virginity to him. The argumentative point made by the speaker in this poem is the importance of time and of a man in love not being able to wait another second to express his love for the women he desires. It begins with “If only we had world enough and time, this shyness, madam, would not be a crime.” (L 1-2) The speaker is attempting to woo his love interest and court her to give her the time she needs to make the big decision. He writes: “We would sit and think in which direction to walk and spend our long day of love. You on the bank of the Indian Ganges should find rubies: I would lament along the tide of the Humber. Although they were separated, they would enjoy the life and time they had been given and plan their future together (L 3-7). The speaker says that he would have loved her ten years before the flood (the flood of Noah's ark in the Bible) and says that if he wants he could refuse until the conversion of the Jews (the end of the world). He would give her all the time in the world. (L7-10). The speaker says that he will praise his eyes for a hundred years and worship his face. (L13-14) He would look into her eyes and express the love he has felt for her for a hundred years. Two hundred years for each breast and thirty thousand years for everything else. The speaker would love and adore her body and would be kind and warm loving her as a lover should. It states: “A minimum age for each part, and the last age should show your heart.” The lover would explore his heart, feelings and emotions and love them equally (L15-18). Complementing her, the writer says, “By lady, you deserve this status; Nor would I love at a lower price. She feels that she deserves to be pampered, adored and treated well, like a princess.
