"And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks." Lines 7-8
Shakespeare and his sense of humor! Actually to be honest I'm not really sure if this is a joke or not. I am going to assume this is satire. I believe old Bill is simply saying that although his lover is not perfect, he looks past her flaws and still loves her all the same. He seems to point out in every feature of her that there is something bigger and better. Perhaps that is his point. Or he could be poking fun at her. What I do know is that he states at the end that he, "think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare" Lines13-14. He means that he still appreciates and loves this woman just as much as a man who has ridiculous comparisons for the features and characteristics of the girl they love.
