To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time

“ The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he’s a getting, The sooner will his race to be run, And nearer he’s to setting. That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer; But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former. Then be not coy, but use your time, and while ye may, go marry? For having lost but once your prime, you may forever tarry.”

When he writes this part of the poem, in my opinion I believe he is talking about a women, and with this women he loves her. He compares her to the sun, and how even if they spend time to together it might be the worse, and be horrible. I feel he is saying though they will work on it and get married, and fix things. He is also saying they they need more time and with this time, they work on each other together.
