Question

can anyone give the explanation of first four lines of the poem to his coy mistress?? ​

Answer 1

Lines 1-2

Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime 

The speaker starts off by telling the mistress that if there was enough time and enough space ("world enough, and time"), then her "coyness" (see "What’s up with the title" for some definitions) wouldn’t be a criminal act.

This is a roundabout way of calling her a criminal, and makes us think of jails, courtrooms, and punishments.

Hmmm. What exactly is her crime? What is she being "coy" about?

Lines 3-4

We would sit down and think which way
To walk and pass our long love's day. 

In any case, he continues…. If they had all the time and space they wanted, they could Google everything, read guide books, and carefully consider where they might go next, while aimlessly strolling and resting whenever they pleased.
