Unattractive
Shakespeare says: 'My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun'
Treads
"Sonnet 130" satirizes the ideals of beauty of Shakespeare's time. Instead of saying that his mistress is as beautiful as a flower, a summer's day, etc., he details all of the ways in which she fails to compare to anything of that nature and in fact is not attractive at all.
His mistress in this poem is his beloved. That is not a particularly obsolete meaning.
Imperfect. Ugly

Pistol stole his girl, Mistress Quickly.
As with most males, Shakespeare could not bear children, but his wife bore three, and his alleged mistress may have borne one.
