Read the last two lines of Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130.”And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,As any she belied with false compare.Which context clue best supports the definition of belied as "contradicted” or "disproved”?

“Belied” means contradicted or misrepresented here: the speaker says his love is as rare as any woman who has been described through a “false compare.” That phrase suggests exaggerated comparisons that do not match reality, supporting the meaning of “belied.” “By heaven” and “I think my love” do not offer the same clue.
