Read the description. Who is it about?

An icon of English royalty who presided over England for some 36 years, known for their extremely rotund figure and for making sweeping changes to the nation. This leader engaged in plenty of wars, including a failed campaign against Scotland (the last of its kind prior to the merging of the Scottish and English crowns) as well as multiple campaigns in France, but the removal of people they didn't like from within their own court as well as dissidents and heretics within the country was equally brutal - it is estimated more than 50,000 died by their order. Of course, they may well be best known for their 6 spouses, some of which met an untimely end whereas for others, they needed to reinvent Christianity and leave Catholicism in order to found the church of England and be able to divorce 2 of those 6 - as many as they had beheaded.

Sonnet 130

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;

Coral is far more red than her lips' red;

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damasked, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

   And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

   As any she belied with false compare.

What's 'different' or 'interesting' about Sonnet 130?
The poem...

1. admires her beauty without relying on clichés, so in a more realistic manner. I.e, 'the woman I love is just as lovely as any of these women who you praise with ridiculous compliments'
2. looks like it is a love poem, but it is actually a way of offending someone's appearances. They compare the looks to beautiful things, but then say 'but it's actually not that, ew'.
3. is not about a woman, even though it begins with 'My mistress' eyes'
4. is not written by Shakespeare, even though everyone thinks that it is.

More on that next week
