Compare and contrast the carpe diem arguments of Donne, Marvell, and Herrick (probably one poem each). How does each of these poets use the motif to advance a larger idea about what makes life worthwhile and why? Note: be careful about speaker and author here. USE EXAMPLES FROM THE POEMS AND ANALYZE (CHOOSE ONE POEM FROM EACH AUTHOR)
John Donne, “The Good Morrow,” “The Sun Rising,” “The Canonization,” “The Relic,” and “Holy Sonnet 10,”
Robert Herrick, “”Corinna’s Going a-Maying,” “To the Virgins to Make Much of Time,” “Hock Cart,” “Prayer to Ben Jonson,” “To Dean Bourn,”
Andrew Marvell, “The Coronet,” “To His Coy Mistress,” and “The Garden,”
