A proportion of Andrew Marvells To His Coy lady of pleasure and John Donnes The Sunne Rising some(prenominal) numberss To His Coy kept woman and The Sunne Rising were written by metaphysical poets, this is one of many similarities in the meters. However, there are also a number of differences between them. In both poems, there is an obvious link to the theme of Carpe Diem which simply inwardness seize the day. The poems relate to time and that of how its runnel out. They seem to be in a rush. The content of the poem is Marvell writing a poem to his hit the hay partner.

To His Coy Mistress is a persuasive poem which contains flattery to try and convince the woman to take their relationship to the neighboring level. In The Sunne Rising, the message is that love is more important than wealth. The main themes are time and love and both are conveyed very cleverly with both wit and deception. I enjoyed both poems as they both showed sound comparisons and true feelings. I preferred the poem by Andrew Marvell as it had a sense of urgency and it was rhythmic to which I found exciting as I never knew what to expect next in the poem.
