Judging by the words, you're talking about Hamlet's Sonnet 130.

The words and phrases that indicate a satirical tone are B (black wires) and D (reeks). This Shakespearean sonnet is a mockery of the literary conventions of ideal beauty and love during its own era. "Black wires," is a description of her woman's hair which completely contradicts the idealized image of blond, silky hair, while the verb "reeks" carries the implication that her breath does not have a pleasant smell.
