The best answer is:
He describes the pleasant qualities of the woman the speaker loves.
In "Sonnet 130," Shakespeare subverts traditional expressions of love by highlighting the speaker’s realistic and unidealized view of his mistress. Rather than relying on hyperbolic comparisons to beauty, he presents her with flaws, yet ultimately conveys that his love for her is genuine and deep. This approach evokes the feeling of love in a more authentic and relatable manner.
