To His Coy Mistress
My vegetable love should grow / faster than empires, and more slow. Andrew Marvell uses the word vegetable in this line this line to slow the pace. When correctly pronounced, it should sound veg-eh-tah-bul. This is one of the many poetic devices that marvell uses in his poem To His Coy Mistress.

These lines stood out to me as well for 2 reasons. The first line indeed is slow causing the reader to stop and consider the authors expression of never-ending love. the second the hyperbole used by the author to exaggerate the growing love.
