Marvell is commonly described as one of the "metaphysical" poets, however this would not have not stopped him using themes and motifs from other styles.
The metaphysical poets were not a group or school, it was merely a convenient term for Donne, Marvell, Traherne and Vaughan coined by Dryden.

such distinctions are not cut and dry; just because the poem includes the carpe diem theme does not disqualify it as a metaphysical poem too...this poem falls into the metaphysical category because he deals with a spiritiual and eternal type of love, not a physical and lust-drive one...the cavalier poets tend to focus on a more earthly love
