| Back | •1st person pronoun first word because ultimately ending on the note of prioritising his own interests •half rhyme 'thee.../variety' expresses his insincere comittment to 'return[ing] to thee' •'laden' = burdened => arrogance undisguised, he believes he is serving her and that sex isn't a mutual gain if she's involved •'return to thee' resembles second coming of Christ, as he promised 'I will come again and receive you to myself' - speaker sees himself as a martyr •'sated' = satisfied => appetite imagery - connotations of her only just reaching his standards + idea of him having sexual necessity |
