| Shall I compare thee to a summer's day | B |
| Thou art more lovely and more temperate | C |
| Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May | B |
| And summer's lease hath all too short a date | D |
| Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines | E |
| And often is his gold complexion dimmed | F |
| And every fair from fair sometime declines | E |
| By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed | F |
| But thy eternal summer shall not fade | F |
| Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st | F |
| Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade | F |
| When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st | F |
| So long as men can breathe or eyes can see | G |
| So long lives this and this gives life to thee | G |
William Shakespeare
