In this sonnet, the speaker describes a powerful love for someone with no personal merits. Which lines describe this puzzling ability in the speaker's beloved to control his reasoning faculties?

Sonnet 150
by William Shakespeare

[O! from what power hast thou this powerful might,
With insufficiency my heart to sway?]
To make me give the lie to my true sight,
And swear that brightness doth not grace the day?
Whence hast thou this becoming of things ill,
[That in the very refuse of thy deeds
There is such strength and warrantise of skill,
That, in my mind, thy worst all best exceeds?]
[Who taught thee how to make me love thee more,]
The more I hear and see just cause of hate?
O! though I love what others do abhor,
With others thou shouldst not abhor my state:
If thy unworthiness raised love in me,
[More worthy I to be beloved of thee.]

PLEASE!
