The ending of this sonnet is about how shakespeare still loves his mistress. It alters the meaning of the sonnet because the whole sonnet he is despising his mistress and then in the last two lines he says that he still loves her.

He mocks the aspects of the traditional sonnet because they are usually about love and how they love someone and stuff like that but he talks bad about her the whole time, untill the very end.
