Well, it looks like the 45 minute clock expired. However, here is the answer you should have written: In the poem "To his coy mistress", the poet says that if they had forever, if time had no meaning, he'd let her be coy and play her game without tiring. However, since time waits for nobody and they have but a little time to walk the Earth, it would be better to:

"roll all our strength, and all
Our sweetness, up into one ball;
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Through the iron gates of life.
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run"

In other words, that they must "seize the day", or as you put it, "Carpe Diem!"
