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 owest;
Nor shall Death brag
thou wanderest 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.
