Exactly what human characteristic is being applied to what non-human entity or concept?specific uses of personification in "To His Coy Mistress",...

I believe that the author using personification to make
his arguments more persuasive by making the objects he personifies seem alive—imbuing
them with human characteristics...as he tries to make her feel that his passion for her
is a living thing all its own, as seen with the use of active verbs in the lines of
personification:

'"My vegetable love should
grow" - giving a plant the human characteristic of
love

"An hundred years should go to
praise / Thine eyes...Two hundred to adore
each breast..." - while one might argue that there is an inferred "I would spend," these
lines could also be taken to mean that had they the time, years would praise and
adore

"Time's winged chariot hurrying
near..." - that time can ride a chariot

"...then worms
shall try / That long preserv'd virginity..." - seems to say that
the worms shall take ("try") her
virginity

"...your quaint honour turn
to dust, / And into ashes all my lust" - honour and lust are personified like dead
bodies turning to dust and ash

"While youthful hue /
Sits on thy skin" - youth is personified as "sitting" or resting on
her skin

"...though we cannot make our sun /
Stand still, yet we will make him run" - the
sun is personified, suggesting it can stand still or run
