My mistressess' theme

The theme of the poem of titled, "My Mistresses' eyes is conveyance of reality. In the poem, the speaker chooses to show the flaws of his lover instead of saying her "eyes are as bright as the sun" like some some men would. Instead, the speaker points out her flaws and imperfections. For instance, he says "...perfumes is ther more delight than in the breath that from my mistress reaks". Here, he is saying despite her bad breath and cheeks that really aren't that rosy, he still loves her. He always has loved her and always will. Wow! I wish every man in the world could be like this. In today's world it always seems that men are just concerned with the outward appearances of women, not their inner beauty, like this speaker is!
