18. Shall I compare thee to a Summers day? Thou art more louely and more temperate: Rough windes do shake the darling buds of Maie, And Sommers leafe hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm’d, And euery faire from faire some-time declines, By chance, or natures changing course vntria’d: But thy eternall Sommer shall not fade, Nor loofe possession of that faire thou ow’st, Nor shall death brag thou wandr’st in his shade, When in eternall lines to time thou grow’st, So long as men can breath or eyes can see, So long liues this, and this giues life to thee.
