I think a possible theme for this
poem is loving one another's imperfections. This poem shows us the
imperfections and flaws of the speaker's lover. He explains that
although his mistress is imperfect, he finds his love special and
'rare.' He talks about her eyes being nothing like the sun, her
lips not red as coral,her breasts not up to his standards, her
cheeks being pale, and the fact that he likes music better then her
voice. He even rudely talks about how her hair is like wires and
her breath is bad. Although he points out all these things about
his love, he still loves to hear her talk and considers his love
rare and special.
