Read the following Shakespearean sonnet.

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 damasked, 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.

The lines "I have seen roses damasked, 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" employ a humor device. Identify the device used and discuss its effect on the meaning and tone of the poem.

Hyperbole is used when Shakespeare is speaking about his mistress. He is actually over exaggerating how ugly and repulsive his mistress is. He is saying that she doesn't have a lovely blush to her face when he says "But no such roses see I in her cheeks." He is also saying that her breath is awful when he contrasts her breath to nice perfume and says "than in the breath that from my mistress reeks."
