Shakespeare, an English poet and play Wright , widely 
regarded as the greatest writer in English language and 
the world’s preeminent dramatist. He was born in 
Stafford-upon- Avon. He is often called England's 
national poet and the "bard of Avon”. His surviving 
works include some collaborations, consist of about 38 
plays,154 sonnet, two long narration poem, and several 
other poems. His plays have been translated into every 
major living language and are performed more often 
than those of any other play Wright.
Sonnet CXX is Sonnet i.e. ; a poem having fourteen lines. It got two quadrants and three 
couplete.it is written by the great and famous poet, narrator and dramatics William 
shakespeare.He wrote many poems and prose and Sonnet CXXX is one of those. this poem 
basically is comparison of his mistress with different natural and unnatural things of the 
universe. He goes on comparing his mistress with different thing but in the end at last 
couplet he also adores her uniqueness and says that she is best at what she is. 
William Shakespeare compares her mistress eyes with the sun and says that they are not so 
shiny as sunshine. the she is compared to coral because her lips are not so red like coral. It 
also indicates that she is not so fair.Usually fair ladies have red lips. then she is compared to 
snow as her breasts are dun in color and hairs with wires that means wrinkled dull and 
punned. her cheeks unlike rose petals soft and red and white. And also with the sweet of 
perfume unlike the adores of her mouth. He says that music is more pleasant than her 
voice that is rough and rude. and her walking is unlike goddess as she drags her feet and 
walks and also thumps upon the ground. But at last he adores her uniqueness as each one 
of us are unique at their own kind. and any one she doesn’t need any false comparisons are 
these are not real.Hence,this poem is basically a comparison then adoring and telling that 
no one could be compared.
MY MISTRESS’ EYES ARE NOTHING LIKE A 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 SEE IN HER CHEEKS; 
And in some perfumes is that more delight 
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks 
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know 
That music hath has a more pleasing sound: 
I grant I never saw a goddess go: 
My mistress , when she walks, trends on the ground: 
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare 
As any she belied with false compare.
