• Angry at this woman's constant objection to marry him, Shakespeare attacks the ubiquitous fear mankind expresses throughout history: fear of oblivion.

• my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
  coral is far more red than her lips' red;
  if snow be white, why then her cheeks are dun;
  if hars be wires, black wire grow on her head.
  
  i have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
  but no such roses i see in her cheeks;
  and in some perfumes there is 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
