I can only make a brief comment, as this is only a short answer space. As I recall the lover in Sonnet 130 realizes that beauty is the most important thing about his muse. Romeo's soliloquy also highlights Juliet’s physical beauty as her most prominent trait.

As daylight doth a lamp. Her eye in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night. act 2 sc 2
