Example 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,          5 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:   10 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.
