Sonnet XCIV.
Sonnett 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Sonnett 18
