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 dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
COMPÁRALO CON ESTE OTRO
By chance
or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal
summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou
owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou
wander'st
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.
