William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130" is a satire or mocking critique of the conventional sonnets that writers write. In this sonnet, he talks of a young lady who is short of conventional beauty ideals.
In the given lines from the sonnet, the poet/ speaker talks of his mistress whose<em> "eyes are nothing like the sun"</em> and he keeps on describing her features as opposed to one praising his lover. Rather, the speaker in this sonnet uses the negative descriptions in describing his mistress, like calling her hair<em> "black wires"</em> and her breath<em> "reeks"</em>, far from the delightful perfumes that a lady is supposed to exude.
Thus,<u> the two words that have a satirical tone in the sonnet are "black wires" and "reeks".
