I have seen roses demask'd, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes in 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. I got these questions about it and I need help on only these. I need help finding a metaphor, simile, and an assonance.
