Question: Can anybody help me with Shakespeare's Sonnet 130!?
Someone please help me re-write this Sonnet (130) with the same structure please or do you have any website to help me cover it!? I'm really in trouble , I really hate Shakespeare lessons!. Please help out!.

This is Sonnet 130!. [ I really appreciate if you help!. ]
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 damask'd, 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!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
