Read the second quatrain of "Sonnet 130."

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.

William Shakespeare

Answer 1

In this sonnet Shakespeare does not follow the standard of that time to idealize his lover to nature’s perfection but he gives the lover human qualities and realism.

In the first quatrain he compares his lover to coral, sun, snow and wires in every line. The comparisons in the second quatrain are with two lines each for roses and perfume.

C) by extending the descriptions of the mistress beyond what can be seen

Explanation:

The second quatrain of this sonnet keeps on comparing his beloved one with nature in an unflattering way for her as he did in the first quatrain, and this sets the tone and meaning of the poem, as he does not need to give fake love or fake descriptions of someone who he loves beyond all her imperfections.
