Answer:

In the first two quatrains of the poem,Shakespeare uses a reflective tone of negative diction to the positive diction comparison of inanimate objects. For example “If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.”(lines 1-3) Another example is “If snow be white , why then her breasts are dun.”
