Hello there!

I think you are missing the excerpt, but fortunately, I have found this one, is this?

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.  

Thou by the Indian Ganges’ side  

Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide  

Of Humber would complain. I would  

Love you ten years before the flood,  

And you should, if you please, refuse  

Till the conversion of the Jews.  

My vegetable love should grow  

Vaster than empires and more slow;  

An hundred years should go to praise  

Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;  

Two hundred to adore each breast,  

But thirty thousand to the rest;  

An age at least to every part,  

And the last age should show your heart.  

For, lady, you deserve this state,  

Nor would I love at lower rate.  

But at my back I always hear  

Time's wingèd chariot hurrying near;  

And yonder all before us lie  

Deserts of vast eternity.  

Thy beauty shall no more be found;  

Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound  

My echoing song; then worms shall try  

That long-preserved virginity,  

And your quaint honour turn to dust,  

And into ashes all my lust;  

The grave's a fine and private place,  

But none, I think, do there embrace.


Examples of hyperbole are:

"[...]I would  Love you ten years before the flood, [...]"

and  

[...] An hundred years should go to praise

      Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze; [...]


Hope this helps!

how to paraphrase a text? I am looking for, a step by step procedure, if there's someone out there to help me out. thanks in adv
kirill115 [55]
To paraphrase is to include the ideas or information from an original source in your paper by rephrasing those ideas or information in your own words .the key to successful paraphrasing is to use as few words as possible from the original text --be mindful not to change the meaning that you are trying to convey as your rephrase---and to cite your paraphrase without proper citation,your paraphrase could be construed as plagiarism......
