In To the Virgins, Make Plenty of Time, the poet and cleric, Robert Herrick uses a strong poetic structure, numerous literary devices and lessons to drive home the point . He talks about virgins who are shy and advises them to take advantage of the opportunities that come their way. Young people may think that they may have a long life ahead of them, and all the time in the world, but time waits for no one.

Each individual must ask himself whether he can use the time allotted to him correctly and whether he cannot.,
