Points to Guide Your Reading of the Poem and Your Writing of Your Paragraph:
The speaker presents his mistress with a three-part argument to persuade her to consummate their relationship now rather than later. At the time when Marvell wrote the poem, the term “mistress” was used to refer to a young unmarried woman.
In lines 1-20, the speaker presents the if part of the argument in which he tells the mistress that if they had an eternity, he would have no problem with the mistress’s coyness (her unwillingness to make a commitment).
In lines 21-32, the speaker presents the but part of the argument in which he tells her that they do not have an eternity.
In lines 33-46, the speaker presents the therefore part of the argument in which he tells her that because they do not have an eternity, they must consummate the relationship now rather than later.
With these three parts in mind, you may wish to organize the contents of your paragraph this way:
Begin with a topic sentence that (1) names the poem, with quotation marks around the name of the poem; (2) includes the words “carpe diem” or synonyms of those words; and (3) explains the link between this poem and the theme carpe diem.
In the next sentence(s), focus on lines 1-20 by identifying the overall subject of them and quoting specific lines to illustrate that subject, such as lines 3-7.
In the next sentence(s), focus on lines 21-32 by identifying the overall subject of them and quoting specific lines to illustrate that subject, such as lines 25-30.

End with a concluding sentence if you wish.
