SISTER MOON
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'd, 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.
Refers to mistress as ugly, horrible
Insults her multiple times He still loves her no
matter what
Sonnet 130 Meaning
‘My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun’
Sister moon will be my guideIn your blue blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonightI'm all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night throughI'd go out of my mind, but for you
Lying in a mother's armsThe primal root of a woman's charms
I'm a stranger to the sunMy eyes are too weak
How cold is a heartWhen it's warmth that he seeks?
You watch every night, you don't care what I doI'd go out of my mind, but for youI'd go out of my mind, but for you
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sunMy hunger for her explains everything I've done
To howl at the moon the whole night throughAnd they really don't care if I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for youSister Moon
