What an equivocal description of, yes, a true unpredicted...mistress as he refers to! ! I was wrong, there are more captains and queens who make us dream and educate with their emotions....

Shakespear was a hack.

I studied this poem at school, and loved it! It's the way shakespeare doesn't make his mistress sound perfect the way some poets did in this time. He knows her flaws, and finds beauty in them. So then she is perfect in an imperfect kind of way if you know what I mean.

Best wishes,

Katie

I love this poem. I think, after all the obvious things that have already been said, that he is almost mocking the cliched way people describe love. He does see his mistress as perfect, because he knows that myths about lips being the colour of coral etc aren't ever true. It's one of the literature poems I have to study for my exams, and this website and looking at other peoples' opinions have helped give me lots of new ideas.
Lucy.
