The poem's tone is sarcastic. In the next two sentences, the tone shifts to one of certainty. The speaker discusses how his genuine love is derived from his mistress's human characteristics. He recognizes that she is neither a goddess or the "perfect lady," yet she is everything to him. Her eyes are the window to her soul and they reveal what he calls "the god within." This poem is often considered one of Shakespeare's best. It was first published in 1614 along with other poems by the author who was then known as William Shakespeare. Shakespeare created many famous characters in his plays. Some of them include Romeo, Juliet, Hamlet, and King Richard III. But perhaps his most famous character is Henry V. This king dominates the stage during the battle scene at Agincourt. Through his words and actions, we see that he is a true leader who knows how to fight for his people. In conclusion, the poet describes his mistress as having eyes of heaven. These are beautiful eyes that can see beyond this world and into paradise. They are also eyes that can see through falsehood and distrust. Most of all, they are eyes that can see straight into his heart.
