15.  So after all we see the poem of to his
coy mistress we can say that the poet
marvell failed to represent the idea of
historical fact of his contemporary era.
And instead of he include theme of love
and beauty.
 So here we can find cultural vs
historical fact. So ‘literature is a
reflection of our society’but this idea is
failed in this poem .
