These poems are both on the view of romance, but as you will read they both have very different opinions.

The poems include an argument within themselves. The poem 'To His Coy Mistress' begins with an initial thought, then introduces a qualification to the thought, and ends with a resolution to the conflict. In addition, Marvell manages to combine this with a passionate poem of seduction. He firstly argues that if the couple had all the time in the world, he would woo his lady so slowly her coyness would be irrelevant.

"Had we but world enough, and time,

This coyness, lady, were no crime."

He proceeds to outline what he would do out of love for his lady if they were both to live for much longer, mentioning such lengths of time as centuries and ages. Throughout this initial premise of 'if', he uses prospective imagery to illustrate his argument. For example, he describes his life as a 'vegetable' love, which gives connotations of a slow, developing love to grow for his 'mistress', and the image that he must tend to his love, just like a gardener does to his vegetables. There is also complete devotion displayed in this first stage of t

This gives a methodical sense to the poem, and by slowing the actual poem not only draws attention to these lines but also makes the tone more serious.

Donne claims that the sun is only half as happy as his relationship, and as the sun is frail and old and should not over stretch itself working, Donne believes the sun's job is complete.

Donne, who firstly told the sun to go away and wake up the rest of the world, through his logic of argument as decided that they are the world instead, and the sun is no longer needed.

Late schoolboys and sour prentices;"

Where the poets differed in their view of the world, they were linked together by their poetic style and method. Firstly, their arguments are original - they use logical reasoning, which draws upon philosophy and religion to clarify their arguments, but manage to marry intellect and passion by combining a dramatic argument with a situation of intense human experience - because intensity of emotion is not a place where rational reasoning and logical argument usually reside. The poems have argument consisting of the main body of he poem, whereas the intense imagery and emotion is conveyed through the language that is used. Language in all the poems is simple and usually direct, and the verse is occasionally rough, like speech, rather than written in a concise, smooth manner, resulting in a dominance of thought over form.

"Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time."

Marvell also uses the rhyme scheme of the poem to re-emphasise this union of two parts. The entire poem consists of rhyming couplets, which takes two separate lines and make a matching pair out of them.
