Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130."
What evidence supports the serious nature of the
sonnet? Select two options.
Albel
"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
'If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head."
"I have seen roses damask d, red and white
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the 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 damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks,
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,-
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.
"I love to hear her speak
"And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare

Answer:

  • "I love to hear her speak ''
  • "And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare''

Explanation:

Going by the utterances of the speaker in this sonnet, one can tell that the speaker's mistress is not overly attractive but he still loves to hear her speak and has a rare love for her.

This shows the seriousness of the sonnet because it shows that the speaker was able to look past physical features to like his mistress with a rare love that is not based on physical features and comparisons.
