Answer: The consistent rhythm softens the speaker's unkind words about the subject.

Explanation:

<em>Sonnet 130</em> <em>" My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun"</em> was written by William Shakespeare. In this poem, Shakespeare mocks other artists for their exaggeration while describing their lover's beauty. He describes his loved one in a more realistic way - he compares her to a number of things, but notes that she has nothing in common with them.

In all of his sonnets, Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter. This is a form which consists of five feet (the first syllable is unstressed while the second is stressed). The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. The very consistency of the rhythm makes Shakespeare's strange comparisons less harsh.
