Sonnets“Shall I compare thee to a Summer's
day?”
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou artmore lovely and more temperate: Rough windsdo shake the darling buds of May, And summer's
lease hath all too short a date: Sometimes too hot theeye of heaven shines, And often is his goldcomplexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometimes declines, By chance, or nature'schanging course, untrimm'd But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of thatfair owest; Nor shall Death brag thou
wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to timethou growest; So long as men can
breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this,and this gives life to thee.
“My mistress' eye are nothing likethe sun”
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral isfar more red than her lips' red: If snow
be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs
be wires, black wires grow on her head. I haveseen roses damsk'd, red and white, But nosuch roses see I in her cheeks; And insome perfumes is there more delight Than in the
breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to her speak,- yet well I know That music hatha far more pleasing sound; I grant I never
saw a goddess go,- My mistresswhen she walks, treads on the ground; Andyet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As anyshe belied with false compare.
