Arrogance and Love in "The Sun Rising"

After analyzing and closely reading, "The Sun Rising," I noticed the strong overall mood and underlying meanings that exist in this poem.  The speaker, the King, in this poem defines himself as being the best; the epicenter of the universe.  "Busy old fool, unruly sun, Why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us?"  The speaker is reiterating his presence of importance and power.  Most would consider the sun as one of the most powerful notions of the universe; with the power to heat the world, as well as destroy it.  He is not an ordinary person in an ordinary setting, however, he is the King.  Why should the sun be so discourteous as to bother him and his lover during their rest?  It was interesting the he choose the sun of all things in the universe to "compete" with. 

The speaker then suggests for the sun to bother someone else, someone ordinary.  "Go chide late schoolboys and sour prentices, Go tell court huntsmen that the King will ride, Call country ants to harvest offices."  The King shows his superiority above others by referring to farm workers as "country ants."  These are the ordinary people that the sun may wake, but not him.  He is above all of this. 

"Thy beams so reverend and strong Why shouldst thou think?  I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink."  He is continuing to state his magnitude and significance, proving even the sun, the most powerful concept in the universe, to be inferior to his power. 

However, the next line is a huge transition in the overall sentiment.  The speaker suddenly softens by saying, "But that I would not lose her sight so long."  The mood of the poem changes from dominating and chauvinistic to gentle and loving.  He could block out the sun simply with his eyes, but then he would lose sight of his lover in his bed. 

He moves on by saying "If her eyes have not blinded thine, Look, and tomorrow late, Tell me, Whether both th' Indias of spice and mine be where thou leftst them, or lie here with me.  Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday, And thou shalt hear, All here in one bed lay."  He is attempinging to explain the splendor and magnificance of his lover who lay next to him.  If her eyes have not blinded thou who look into them due to their brillance, try to look for spice in the East Indies or the Kings thou saw yesterday.  The sun previously shone on these precious items, just like any other day.  But today, they are gone.  This woman is all those beautiful things, all in one, laying in his bed.  She is everything that is valuable in the world.

"She is all states, and all princes I, Nothing else is."  She is every state, every country.  He is every prince, every royalty.  That is all that matters at that time, in bed.  Nothing else exists.  Just the two of them, representing the world.  Moreover, the King states, "Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be to warm the world, that's done in warming us."  Due to the suns considerable old age, they are actually doing the sun a favor.  Since they are together, in one place--bed--and together they comprise the world, the suns job is much easier.  All it must do is warm them, consequently warming the earth, the world.  I found the speakers mix of arrogance and love alluring and fascinating.
