Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds ofMay,

II.

(1)   ShouldI compare you to a summer's day?
                You are lovelier and milder.
                In May rough winds shake thedelicate flower buds,
                And the duration of summer isalways too short.

(2)    Sometimes the Sun, the eye of heaven, istoo hot,
                And his golden face is oftendimmed;
                And beauty falls away frombeautiful people,
                Stripped by chance or nature'schanging course.

(3)    But your eternal summer will not fade,
                Nor will you lose possession of thebeauty you own,
                Nor will death be able to boastthat you wander in his shade,
                When you live in eternal lines, setapart from time.

(4)    As long as men breathe or have eyes tosee,
                As long as this sonnet lives, itwill give life to you.
