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
