Compare 'My Last Duchess' by Robert Browning to 'To his Coy Mistress' by Andrew Marvell

I have to compare the way the two writers use dramatic monologue for effect

Any help would be greatly appreciated

One very obvious point is that the Browning suggests spoken comments to a disinterested listener, while the Marvell is more like a letter to a girl he's trying to seduce: it doesn't use the conversational tricks which are common in the Browning. Clearly I don't want to write your whole essay for you and if you want more help from me, you would be wise to ask a more specific question, or say what in particular puzzles you.
