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 fadeNor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
