In william shakespeare sonnet 130 the speaker lists the qualities that his mistress lacks in which 2 lines is there a change or twist that tells the reader that the speaker accepts his mistress despite her supposed flaws

In last two lines (i.e. line 13 and 14) there is a twist that tells the reader that the speaker accepts and loves his mistress despite all her supposed flaws.

Explanation:

Twist or Volta (Italian word for turn) is a rhetorical device that represents dramatic shift in in thought and/or emotion. Petrarchan or Italian sonnets have volta between the octave and the sestet  while Shakespearean or English sonnets usually have it before the final couplet

The speaker also declares his love for his mistress in line 9, but here he just says that he loves to hear her speak. And just in next line (10) he says that music is pleasing than her voice.

By this method (mentioning his mistress's many flaws ans still loving her), the speaker makes his love even more valuable and rare. The poet also criticizes other poets for making false and exaggerated claims about beauty of their mistresses.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

brutus overlooks that the majority of the crowd served julius caesar the military general. he appeals to their citizenship as romans by calling them first by that name in his salutation: "romans, countrymen, lovers." mark antony, however, speaks in terms understood by the military, by calling them first by, "friends, romans, countrymen." he recalls not only caesar the general but caesar the friend, whose body they see covered with stab wounds.
