Sonnet 130 My Mistress' Eyes

Taken from Thy Sweet Love Remember'd - Three Shakespeare Sonnets by Joseph Prestamo
Sonnet 130 - My Mistress' Eyes

Queens College Choir, Dr. James John

Performed November 30th, 2009.

Sonnet 130. William Shakespeare.

My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun;
Choral 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 demaskd, 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.
