Gli occhi della mia donna non sono come il sole;

il corallo e' assai piu' rosso del rosso delle sue labbra;

se la neve e' bianca, allora i suoi seni sono grigi;

se i capelli sono crini, neri crini crescono sul suo capo.

Ho visto rose variegate, rosse e bianche,

ma tali rose non le vedo sulle sue guance;

e in certi profumi c'e' maggiore delizia che nel fiato che la mia donna esala.

Amo sentirla parlare, eppure so che la musica ha un suono molto piu' gradito.

Ammetto di non aver mai visto camminare una dea,

ma la mia donna camminando calca la terra.

Eppure, per il cielo. ritengo che la mia amata si straordinaria come ogni

altra donna falsamente cantata con immagini esagerate .

The text that i’m going to analyze is one of the 154 sonnets written by Shakespeare, that were published in 1609.Them were divided in two section: the first is addressed to a fair youth, while the second (from sonnet CXXVII to the end) is addressed to a dark lady. So, this is included in the second section.
As all Shakespeare sonnets it is organized into three quatrains and are in rimming cupolas.
Now I'm going to analyzed the first quatrain that is composed of alternate rimes. (sun, red, dun, head)
The speaking voice address the reader that the sun are better than her mistress eye.
He says that her lips aren’t as beautiful as coral. He add if snow is white her mistress breast are dark.
The specking voice characterized his mistress with a negative connotation, using comparisons with natural elements(or elements of the nature). His mistress always “loses the game”.
So in the last quatrain the hair were connotated a negative way.
Now the intelligent reader wonder why the speaking voice connotated his mistress in a negative light, why the comparisons always makes his mistress worst.
Going on reading the second quatrain the reader doesn’t find a suitable answer to his question yet.
In dead he continues with the comparisons.
In the second quatrain reinforces the idea expressed in the previous quatrain, in dead he repeats the negative qualities of his mistress in relation with the qualities of the nature.
The last quatrain concluded the sonnet , bringing to a climax that are in relation with the first quatrain. (music, coral, nature …)
After this climax the reader could find the answer: In spite of the appearance he still love his mistress.
The sonnet underlines that the speaking voice considered his mistress rare. He loves her for her features.
