"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
'If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head."
"I have seen roses damask d, red and white
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun,
Coral 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 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.
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.
"I love to hear her speak
"And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare

The speaker in this sonnet acknowledges that his mistress does not have heavenly qualities that make her overly attractive but he still has a rare love for her that enables him to love hearing her speak even though music has a more pleasing sound.

This shows that the sonnet is of a serious tone with the speaker truly loving his mistress regardless of qualities that she possesses which he does not believe are attractive.
