2nd Quatrain
untrimmed- unstopped, the seasons are changing and nature has its own course
3rd Quatrain- new idea that starts with "but"
thy- a young woman or love
nor shall....- death is bragging that the woman is wondering in her shade, death is not able to get her, her beauty will not die because it is written in the poem, her beauty from his perspective at the time
Heroic Couplet
this- the poem
My Mistresses Eyes are Nothing like the Sun
Her Eyes- compared to the sun showing that they are not like the sun, dull
Her Lips- compared to coral showing that her lips are not red but natural
Her Breasts- compared to snow showing that her breasts are brownish gray (dun)
Her Hair- compared to black wire (string/thread)
Her Cheeks- compared to roses, her cheeks are not rosy
Her Breath- compared to perfume showing that it reeks
Her Voice/Speech- compared to music but her voice/speech is not melodious
Walking- compared to a goddess walking, she treads
parody to sonnets and sonneteers
choppy comparisons, does not flow like normal sonnets
