Question Description
Need help with my English question - I’m studying for my class.
1. Write a well-developed essay in which you contrast the two poems: “To His Coy Mistress” (594) and “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” (777).

How does time become a factor for a woman as she makes her decision? Consider the use of poetic elements that the speaker is using to persuade his mistress.

Is the speaker playful or serious? Which of two do you think is truly happy? Are we to see their thoughts as a yearning for childlike innocence and imagination or is there something more destructive?
