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!
