Great Regulars: In the second quatrain, the speaker continues

to compare the attributes of the poem to those of a woman. He finds a woman to have bright eyes, but the poem’s eyes are even brighter and "less false in rolling." And what the poem gazes upon becomes gilded: it saves for future generations the subject that is placed into it.

from Linda Sue Grimes: Suite101.com: Shakespeare Sonnet 20
