It makes fun of the blazon and exaggerated comparisons of beauty.
The speaker compares their sadness to "loss of property" (line 4) and "forfeiture"(line 6), echoing legal terms related to ownership and punishment. This use of legal metaphors suggests a sense of betrayal or injustice contributing to the speaker's sorrow.
The sonnet features an external rather than an internal audience, as the speaker addresses and describes the qualities of the beloved. The sonnet is written to immortalize the beauty of the beloved through the words of the speaker.
