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 some time 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 wand`rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow`st: So long as men can breath or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Sonnet 130 My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damask'd, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.
