William Shakespeare
Ouch. I feel like maybe the speaker could have said nicer things to the woman he is in love with. "Coral is far more red than her lips' red" and "no such rose I see in her cheeks" are blatant realities that the speaker is not fearful to call out. I actually appreciate the honesty. He can acknowledge the "imperfections" of her visage and he loves her deeply anyway. "And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare." Thank you, speaker, for acknowledging an attraction beyond this woman's physical appearance.
