Shall I Compare Thee to a summers day ?

2/10
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 dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed:
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.

ANTITHESISAntithesis (Greek for "setting opposite",
from "against" + "position") is a
counter-proposition and denotes a
direct contrast to the original proposition. In
setting the opposite, an individual brings out a
contrast in the meaning (e.g.,
the definition, interpretation, or semantics) by
an obvious contrast in the expression.
Example :
Many are called, but few
are chosen.
