the sonnet 130 of Shakespeare is an unconventional poem. Most of the sonnet sequences in Elizabethan England were modelled after that of Petrarch. Petrarch’s famous sonnet sequence was written as a series of love poems to an idealized and idolized mistress‚ Laura. In those sonnets Petrarch praises her beauty‚ her worth‚ and her perfection. He has used an extraordinary variety of metaphors‚ largely based on natural beauties. But in Shakespeare’s day these metaphors had already become cliché. But they
