Describe the types of activities the speaker in Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" would undertake if he had "world enough and time."

The speaker would spend years, decades and even centuries courting his mistress, if he had enough time.

Explanation:

If he had enough time, the speaker of "To His Coy Mistress" would sit with his "coy mistress" for hours before deciding where they are going for a walk. He would try to get her attention for a decade, while she could ignore him for as long as she desires. He would take centuries to appreciate her body and face. He would be ready to wait for her love as long as it takes. If he had enough time, the speaker would spend decades and even centuries courting the mistress. However, as he argues in stanza 2, he does not have that amount of time to get her attention.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
