A Comparison and Contrast of Andrew Marvell’s

Andrew Marvells To His Coy Mistress and Robert Herricks Corinnas firing A-Maying are rimes which two present a familiar al-Qaida in literature which is Carpe diem which means seize the day. The rimes tell about assorted situations wherein you have to take advantage of the moment because such instances are non permanent and wouldnt last long.To His Coy Mistress is about a young man professing his jerk off laid for a young lady, simply the lad responds by being playfully hesitant and demure, as though she was full of uncertainty (Marvell, 1999). But according to the female, dallying as such leave alone not do, because youth will pass them by swiftly, so there is a need for them to take advantage of the situation. He then expounds that if they had the sumptuosity of time, then they could their days idly, admiring each separate while leisurely fugitive time.But for them the reality is that time is not on their side because it s a winged chariot ever racing along, they wou ldnt know exactly when their youth will be gone, but it is certain that if they dont seize the moment, the only social occasion that would await them would be the grave.In Corinnas Going A-Maying, the narrator urges Corinna to wake up and get up early on the depression of May, so that she would be able to enjoy the fun of the day, as well as the beautiful flowers of the month of May (Herrick, 2008). She is also told to urge her morning prayers so that she can already go out into the field to enjoy May.The narrator also told her that while she spent her time sleeping, umpteen couples have already been engaged, many had played the kissing game, and several other things that could encourage Corinna to go out. In the end, she is told to go while theyre tranquillize in their prime, to seize the opportunity before they grow old and die. With sustenance being short, if Corinna would let the opportunity pass, then she couldnt turn backward the hands of time.The title To His Coy Mist ress would mean that the lady love of young man is not an easy catch. It is phrased in a dash that the author reports the plea of a young man to his beloved. The title Corinnas Going A-Maying implies that Corinna would eventually go out and enjoy the month of May, as she is being persuaded by the narrator.Marvells poem is written in the first person point of view, though it is presented as a plea of most other person. It reports of what goes on inside the mind of the man, as his thoughts were manifested through the terminology in the poem.It shows of an impatient young man, who desperately urges the young lady not to waste any more time temporizing and playing hard-to-get. It can be seen as more of a selfish desire for something carnal or else than true love by the man, as he is overflowing with passion, want he cant contain it anymore. He can be characterized as more of an immature and selfish person than a kind one.On the other hand, Herricks poem is also in the first contr ibution point of view that of a narrator. He is an unnamed individual who urges Corinna to get up of from the bed, go out, and enjoy the first of May. The narrator tells more of the events that Corinna had mazed while she was spending her time sleeping. It is more of an exposition of the joys that May brings, and what they could remain in the coming times. The narrator is more of a persuasive individual, express every kind of story just to convince Corinna that she needs to go out of bed already.The setting of To His Coy Mistress is not stipulate in the poem. There is no scene that presents such a bulge in which the characters would move. The young man and the young lady are presume to be from somewhere in England, as suggested by the River Humber which was mentioned in the poem. In Corinnas Going A-Maying there is also no specified fructify of interaction for the people in the poem. It can be assumed that it is in the house of Corinna, wherein she is still in her bedroom, st ill sleeping.It is evident that for both poems, the verbalizer or the narrator spoke first of beautiful things before intercourse about the consequences of not seizing the day or grabbing the opportunity. In the poem To His Coy Mistress, it was shown that if the lady and the man were to have the luxury of time, then they could break of being idle, praising and adoring each other for hundreds of years to come.In the poem Corinnas Going A-Maying, the narrator speaks of wonderful things that can be do outside, in order to fully enjoy May. They can pick flowers, interact with other people, and explore love with the opposite sex. However, in the end, the speakers in both poems stated that if they dont seize the opportunity, then the only thing certain for them is that they would grow old and eventually die, without the chance of enjoying the opportunity that they missed.Andrew Marvell and Robert Herricks poems tell the readers about grabbing the opportunity while it is there. We cann ot afford to let the opportunity pass us by because we would end up losing it forever. We dont have the luxury of time, and we would eventually find ourselves aging, and unable to do the things when we were young. This is wherefore we should grab every opportunity and seize the day.ReferencesHerrick, R. (2008). Corinnas Going A-Maying.
