PRE-READING
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,
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimed:
And every fair form fair sometimes declines
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm’d:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st:
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st.
So long as man can breath or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee
