What does the narrator think about mistress in sonnet 130?

The narrator of Sonnet 130 does not consider his beloved to be an ideal of physical beauty according to societal standards. He believes that her complexion is not as fair as snow, her breasts are not white as doves, and her breath does not resemble fragrant perfume. He also claims that music can produce melodies superior to her voice and roses can boast of a more pleasing color than her cheeks.
