Comparing the poems “To his coy mistress”, “the beggar woman” and Our love now.”

In this essay I am comparing “To his coy mistress”(written by Andrew Marvell), “The beggar woman”(Written by William King) and “ Our love now,”(Written by Martyn Lowery.) The fact that all these out love poems or have something to do with physical love. “To his coy mistress” is about a man trying to seduce a woman into his bed and taking her virginity, He tries to use imagery and disgusting thoughts to change her mind. “Our love now” is about a man and a woman arguing about their relationship and he is trying to say the pros about the relationship and she is saying the cons but she make’s her side of the argument like he has done something wrong (but a scar in the relationship.) “The beggar woman” is about a gentleman getting lost and meeting a Beggar by her trade asks her if she knew a place where they could have sex. She leads into forest And tells they can have sex if he puts the baby on his back, When he does put the baby on his back she walks off and leaves the baby strapped to his back.
