Hearts and Partners

Does your reading of these poems make you believe either or both of these statements?

Refer to at least three poems, one of which must be Pre-1900.

In this essay I am going to refer to ‘Our Love Now’, ‘To His Coy Mistress’ and ‘ The Beggar Woman’. These poems reflect the way that love can bring out the best and worst in people’s relationships or attitudes to love.

‘Our Love Now’ is interesting as it shows two contrasting attitudes to love. The poem is set out in columns, each containing four stanzas. The poem is written in the first person with the male protagonist being the narrator. The male character reports the woman’s words, as she would have said them.
