1. My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; sun CoralCoral is far more red than her lips’ red: Coral If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. black wires black wires I have seen roses damask’d, red and white; red and whitered and white But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound. I grant I never saw a goddess go: My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. As any she belied with false compare. Sonnet 130
