In this poem "To His Coy Mistress" Marvell was saying women are special and marvelous. and how women need to be given everythingn they need also he point out that they should be treated like a Goddess.
But what about the images and references to death and violence in stanza two and three, such as: Thy beauty shall no more be found, Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound My echoing song; then worms shall try That long preserv'd virginity, And your quaint honour turn to dust, And into ashes all my lust.(25-30)
I agree with Luis observation of the poem. The poet makes it out so people can treat women with respect and treat them like the queens they are.
