About

This continues the sequence of sonnets dedicated by Shakespeare to his “"Dark Lady”. The Fair Youth is no longer the subject and the woman is now central. Her identity is unknown and, as with the boy, it is a matter of academic debate as to whether she is fictional or a woman he loved in real life....

Sonnet 130 Annotated

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 damask, 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.
