Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day？

　　Thou are more lovely and more temperate¹：

　　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 complexion² 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 brag³ 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.

　　by William Shakespeare
