5 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? a Thou art more lovely and more temperate: b Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, a And summer's lease hath all too short a date: b Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,c And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; d And every fair from fair sometime declines, c By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd;d But thy eternal summer shall not fade, e Nor lose possession of that fair thou know'st; f Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, e When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:f So long as man can breath, or eyes can see, g So long lives this, and this gives life to theeg

13  When, in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,  I all alone beweep my outcast state,  And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,  And look upon myself and curse my fate,  Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,  Featured like him, like him with friends possessed, Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,  With what I most enjoy contented least;  Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,  Haply I think on thee, and then my state,  Like to the lark at break of day arising  From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;  For thy sweet love rememb'red such wealth brings  That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
