"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun." line 1I find this poem to be very sweet and romantic. The speaker describes his lover in a very unattractive manner. His tone while doing this seems to be satisfied and nonchalant. Its as if he doesn't care and is almost pleased that she isn't attractive. However, despite her unfortunate looks, the man loves her. It seems that he doesn't care that society would describe her "eyes nothing like the sun" and "black wires grow[n] on her head" as unattractive. Despite everything, this woman is perfect in his eyes. This is shown in the last line, "she belied with false compare." This basically means that all her imperfections make her perfect to him.
