"my mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun (sonnet 130)"

william shakespeare, 1564 - 1616

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.

i have seen roses damasked, red 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.
