Which set of lines in this excerpt from Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" contains a biblical allusion?
I would
Love you ten years before the Flood,
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow;
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest:
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.

Hagrid
The sentence, "Love you ten years before the Flood," directly contains a Biblical Allusion. This was a story about Noah and his ark where God sent a great flood to wipe out the bad deeds of men and clean off Earth of impurities and start anew. In the poem, the writer is trying to show his love for his mistress that is unstoppable and can go to great lengths.

Love you ten years before the Flood,  

And you should, if you please, refuse

Till the conversion of the Jews.
