    instilled a healthy fear in his army and, as a result, has remained victorious and united in the face of war. By using these techniques, he effectively argues that the impacts of being feared are far better than those of being loved.

    Sleeping softly, many dream of their loves, world peace, and life after death. These things, while at the center of the dreams of many, are often compared to the grandest things in life. The allusion in the poems “To His Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvell, “Peace” by George Herbert, and “Hymn to God, My God, In My Sickness” by John Donne most accurately craft the author’s purpose of the need for love, peace, and acceptance from God.
