To His Coy Mistress
Well what to say? The man is obviously lusting over the mistress and explains how he would adore her for many years if only they did not have to grow old. He states the different things he would do or gaze upon, from her breast to her entire body up and down for thousands of years if only they did not have to die. He speaks of how they cannot do anything when death comes so that they should love each other passionately while they are alive and young

So is the speaker saying that love if finite? How does death and old age in this poem compare with death in Dickinson's poem?
