Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 "My mistress' eyes"

Shakespeare uses the same kind of form and tone as Collins' "Litany" such that they both degrade their loves, in a way. They both use lines that diminish the lover's beauty, and say lines that debase the image of the loves. As much as the two authors talk badly about the lovers, in the end they redeem them by saying that the lovers are still great and better than the others.
