Andrew Marvell was an English Restoration poet who lived and wrote during his nation’s civil wars, and in its transition from monarchy to the beginnings of republicanism.

He was a well-traveled, well-spoken, hard-partying bachelor.

In his masterwork “To His Coy Mistress” he paints a vivid picture of a familiar and amorous scenario most men will be familiar with.

But he presents his own unique spin on it, in a moving and timeless encouragement to seize the day.
