Metaphysical poets are noted for using colloquial language in their works. Which of these excerpts includes colloquial language? Had we but world enough, and time, This coyness, lady, were no crime. We would sit down, and think which way To walk, and pass our long love's day. (from "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell) Busy old fool, unruly sun, Why dost thou thus Through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run? (from "The Sun Rising" by John Donne) Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. (from Sonnet 10 by John Donne) Yet thou triumph'st, and say'st that thou Find'st not thyself nor me the weaker now; 'Tis true; then learn how false fears be: Just so much honor, when thou yield'st to me, (from "The Flea" by John Donne)
