The poet begins his sonnet with conventional epithets ,as ,coral-colored-lip, snow-white-breast ,golden-wire-hair , rosy -cheek, etc , but implies them in an unconventional -way .For his mistress lacks all those natural -graces .Again he is not ready to accept the lady as an attribute of a goddess .
