From the Sonnet of Shakespeare , This poem is a love poem that he wrote to his girlfriend. The content of the poem mentions his girlfriend. And he's praise his girlfriend by comparing her with beautiful nature. But his praise is different from the others. It is a joke praise of his love poetry. Such as, In the poem he compared the eyes of his girlfriend are not like the sun. Her lips are less red than coral. Her breasts are dun when compared with white snow. Her hairs are like a black wires. And yes, those things that he uttered it was really correct. No one who have a beautiful bright eyes like the sun. No one who have a red lips than a beautiful coral. And no one have a white breasts like a white snow. In my opinion, I think that Shakespeare's poetry did not compare his girlfriend with the sweet exaggerating words because he wants to show sincerity to her.
