>The couplet at the end of this sonnet explains the reluctant love he has for the lady he explained in the sonnet. THis altered the meaning of the sonnet because in the beginning he depicts this lady as a woman that is ugly and can never be beautiful, and at the end, it turns out that he loves her even with her flaws.

>traditional sonnet in Sonnet 130?
Shakespeare mocks the aspect of the traditional sonnet because he rhymed at the end with the last two lines of the sonnet.
