Had we but world enough, and time, (if we were to live forever I'd seduce you)
This coyness, lady, were no crime. (Ln 1-2 interruption, comfortable with slowness of time)
We would sit down, and think which way
To walk, and pass our long love's day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges' side (formal and refers to human geography to flatter)
Shouldst rubies find: I by the tide
Of Humber would complain I would
Love you ten years before the flood, (referring to the bible; aim is to flatter)
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews;
My vegatable love should grow (slow and unconscious)

And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity. (aims to appeal in readers emotion rather than intellect; revealing)
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor in thy marble vault shall sound
My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity;
And you quaint honor turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
Thy grave's a find and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.
Now therefore, while the youthful hue (clears up argument; compares human to nature)
Sits on thy skin like morning dew, (playful, ornamental, sweetness, flaring passion)
And while thy willing soul transpires...
