To His Coy Mistress

“To His Coy Mistress” pp. 86-87; #3
1. First this poem confused me, I do not understand, is the speaker trying to woo a woman?
a. If the flood separates us yet, we lie before yonder waiting to go into this vast eternity. Therefore we must ‘grow our love, Vaster than empires, and more slow’. But eternity and life will not let them grow or use their love, on one another.
