To his coy mistress

by Andrew Marvell, 17th Century

 

by Andrew Marvell

Had we but world enough, and time,

This coyness, Lady, were no crime.

We would sit down and think which way

To walk and pass our long love’s day.

Thou by the Indian Ganges’ side

Shouldst rubies find: I by the tide

Of Humber would complain. I would

Love you ten years before the Flood,

And you should, if you please, refuse

Till the conversion of the Jews.

My vegetable love should grow

Vaster than empires, and more slow;

An hundred years should go to praise

Thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze;

Two hundred to adore each breast;

But thirty thousand to the rest;

An age at least to every part,

And the last age should show your heart;

For, Lady, you deserve this state,

Nor would I love at lower rate.

   But at my back I always hear

Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near;

And yonder all before us lie

Deserts of vast eternity.

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 your quaint honour turn to dust,

And into ashes all my lust:

The grave’s a fine and private place,

But none, I think, do there embrace.

 Now therefore, while the youthful hue

Sits on thy skin like morning dew,

And while thy willing soul transpires

At every pore with instant fires,

Now let us sport us while we may,

And now, like amorous birds of prey,

Rather at once our time devour

Than languish in his slow-chapt power.

Let us roll all our strength and all

Our sweetness up into one ball,

And tear our pleasures with rough strife

Thorough the iron gates of life:

Thus, though we cannot make our sun

Stand still, yet we will make him run.

To Her Importunate Lover or Move Over, Marvell 

by Janet Garber

 

Had I but lust enough and time, 

This pawing, sir, were no crime. 

I’d dally gladly on your knee, 

And let your hands roam mainly free 

You sir should bonk me once or twicely, 

Put it to me oh-so-nicely, 

Round and Round we’d go. 

And why not Insert your sword into all slots? 

Tit for tat, tat for whitest tit, 

Forgetting not my lady bits! 

What rush is there you ask, my man, 

The fire’s sizzling in the pan! 

Delay, you risk a change of heart, 

A drawing back of every part, 

A sidewise glance at other fruit 

A lightened step, a fast salute. 

So au revoir my little knight, 

‘Tis not for naught; ‘tis not for spite. 

Your manners so impeccable. 

Turn my lust imperceptible.

Pray let me go as off I must 

Unless my ardor turn to rust. 

Yon lord does turn a twinkling eye 

Upon my self, I dare not lie. 

His well-trimmed beard, his massive hand, 

My heart leaps up. He’s quite a brand  

Off go I then to ___ with him, 

My fate is not to be Ms. Prim. 

My best to you, oh tardy knight, 

Perhaps one day you’ll get it right

"The day Lin Mee blew up her house, with husband Wei inside, she made sure their daughter, Ming, was at a sleepover. And that was the very day Ming, 15, decided to “go all the way” with her boyfriend, forever conflating her transgressive act of lying atop him in his small attic room, pumping away with all her might, with the death of her father, and presumably, her mother."
