Sonnet 130

So now the speaker is no longer focusing on the man who he was trying to convince to reproduce and then seduce, now he has a mistress. And some say love makes people blind, well I don’t think that is true in the speaker’s case, because he really calls them like he sees them. But I really like the couplet, where he kind of seems to defend his love for her as well as the reasons as to why he finds her so appealing, by stating that he thinks she is as special as any other woman who has ever been written falsely about, like false in such a way as to make them sound more appealing. At least he loves her for the way she is and not the way he wishes she was.
