Marvell's Coy Mistress

This poem is a type of poem with a high amount of sexual tension.  "Am'rous birds of prey" this is at the end of the poem and is what all the sexual tension leads up to.  Throughout the poem, it starts off with slow and a nostalgic argument.  Then as the poem progresses, the urgency for the man is intesified as he knows that he wants to finish off the deal and have sexual relations with the girl.  He insults her and then puts fear into the womens heart, just the same way Mr. Collins does with Liz.  But all of this is the sexual tension that builds up and builds up to reach the "birds of prey".  This illustrates the rough and angry sex they have with each other as the argument builds up.  This is rough sex and the bird of prey pretty much signifies the man ripping apart the girl metaphorically in the stanza before and the birds of prey also signifies the girl ripping the guys heart when in the  beginning she refuses to have sex with him.  At the end, the man seizes the day and the girl follows.  At the end they both become "birds of prey."
