Number of Words: 796 / Number of Pages: 3
... speak, yet well I know that music
hath a far more pleasing sound, yet, I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare.” This shows his honesty in speaking about his object of affection, yet he achieves the same sense of
unconditional love that the poet in Marlowe’s poem tries to delineate without using embellishments. The speaker in Sonnet 130 doesn’t hyperbolize about his “rare” love using a plethora of exaggerations to portray his fondness for his “mistress” as the poet in Marlowe’s
poem did. Even though the two poems have the the ...
