Sonnet xv111<\/p>\n
“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?<\/p>\n
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:<\/p>\n
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,<\/p>\n
And summer’s lease hath all to short a date:<\/p>\n
Sometimes the eye of heaven shines,<\/p>\n
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;<\/p>\n
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,<\/p>\n
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;<\/p>\n
But the eternal summer shall not fade<\/p>\n
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;<\/p>\n
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’s in his shade,<\/p>\n
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:<\/p>\n
So long as men can breath or eyes can see,<\/p>\n
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.”<\/p>\n
Sonnet cxv1<\/p>\n
“Let me not to the\u00a0marriage of true minds<\/p>\n
admit impediments. Love is not love<\/p>\n
Which alters when it alteration finds,<\/p>\n
Or bends with the remover to remove:<\/p>\n
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark<\/p>\n
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;<\/p>\n
It is the star to every wandering bark,<\/p>\n
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.<\/p>\n
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks<\/p>\n
Within his bending sickle’s compass come:<\/p>\n
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,<\/p>\n
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.<\/p>\n
If this be error and upon me proved,<\/p>\n
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”\u00a0 William Shakespeare.<\/p>\n
Shakespeare was born on this date, April 23, 1564.<\/p>\n
Islander.<\/p>\n
