QuatrainⅠ:
A:Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
B:Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
A:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
B:And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
QuatrainⅡ:
C:Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
D:And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
C:And every fair from fair sometime declines,
D:By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed.
Quatrain Ⅲ:
E:But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
F:Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
E:Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
F:When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
Couplet:
G:So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
G:So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
