Female characters from Greek mythology
Motif of famous female characters, mostly those from Greek mythology, is present to enhance the speaker's determination to be with Celia as well as to further the theme of feminine virginity and honor. He will "invade" her like "Jove of old fell down on Danaë in a storm of gold"; mentions of Lucrece, Lais etc.
Bees and deflowering
The speaker of the poem makes an allegorical comparison of making love to Celia for the first time to the bees and deflowering:
Then, as the empty bee that lately bore
Into the common treasure all her store,
Flies 'bout the painted field with nimble wing,
Deflow'ring the fresh virgins of the spring
