Question

56:40

Answer 1

Answer:

• "I love to hear her speak ''

• "And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare''

Explanation:

Going by the utterances of the speaker in this sonnet, one can tell that the speaker's mistress is not overly attractive but he still loves to hear her speak and has a rare love for her.

This shows the seriousness of the sonnet because it shows that the speaker was able to look past physical features to like his mistress with a rare love that is not based on physical features and comparisons.
