Response to Andrew Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress”
Jenna Willett
Thy greeting comes on angel wings, And with my heart the hills do sing Of thy embrace and grand attire. Your stately graces do inspire A thought of kindness in my smile. If thou would call I’d stay a while, Just to be near thy golden heart And hear sweet words before we part. May not my coyness drive away Your int’rest in my heart so gay.
The taste of fear shall not prevail In draining rosy cheeks to pale; No persecution could insist On taking thy eternal bliss. Thou hast a lion’s heart and strength To weather time’s deceitful length. Do not be worried by death’s sting, For in our heaven thou shall bring Refreshing relief to mine life And relinquish me of my strife.
Do make of me a queen of queens To rule thy heart and make thee keen. Please come my king, and make it so; That like a brook my love should flow
And make thee gladder than the sun. Then during night when day is done, Unbroken melodies be sung With silver note on pow’rful lung Of love that lasts throughout the ages. Our story be told on earth’s stages Proclaiming how thee, men of men, Had tempted me thus into sin. Come hither, now. Arrest my heart, And burning passion thou will start.
