1. The couplet at the end of this sonnet explains that even though she is not beautiful Shakespeare loves her anyway and thinks her just as rare as any of the other ladies in other sonnets
2. Shakespeare mocks the traditional aspect of other sonnets by not making his lady an exquisite beauty as other poets make theirs.
