Can we answer this or do we need to read on?In the next lines he moves on to describe other physical features: In the next lines he moves on to describe other physical features If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. Gold wires were used in head-dress and compared to golden hair Blondes were more highly rated So she is not conventionally beautiful I have seen roses damask'd, red and white mixed But she doesn’t have this complexion But no such roses see I in her cheeks;The author moves from how she looks to how she smells: The author moves from how she looks to how she smells And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. Smells- the word didn’t have a negative meaning in Shakespeare’s time He’s not saying the smell of her breath is unpleasant - just that perfume smells sweeter In conventional love poems you would say her breath was sweeter than perfume But Shakespeare takes an unconventional approachThe next feature is the sound of her voice: The next feature is the sound of her voice I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; He’s not being critical of her voice: all he’s saying is that music has a more pleasing sound In the conventional love poem the writer would say that her voice was sweeter than musicThe poet describes how his mistress walks: The poet describes how his mistress walks I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: I admit to you I’ve never seen a goddess walk My mistress walks like anyone else, on the ground, rather than floating through the air He’s stressing his mistress is no goddess. In a conventional love poem she would be described as a goddessSo does the poet think that his mistress is beautiful or what?: So does the poet think that his mistress is beautiful or what? The last 2 lines tell us And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. exceptional Direct statement, telling us what he thinks For emphasis She is as beautiful as any woman who is praised with false comparisons The poet thinks she’s beautiful but doesn’t want to describe her in a cliched way.A sonnet has 14 lines: A sonnet has 14 lines The first 12 lines are 3 quatrains Groups of 4 lines My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. rhyme scheme ABAB With a closing couplet And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.
