the full text is as follows:
shall I compare them to a summer's day?
can I compare you to summer? ?
Thou art more lovely and more temperature:
You are more beautiful and gentle than summer.
rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
strong winds will wither the buds in May,
and summer's lease all too short a date:
How short summer is.
Some time too hot the eye of heaven shines,
It's a beautiful day,
and often is his gold complex DIMM'd;
it will be foggy in a blink of an eye.
and every fair from fair some time declines,
don't sigh that the flowers are falling,
by chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd
it is driven by impermanent destiny.
but thy eternal summer shall not fade
Only your eternal summer day is new,
nor lose posture of that fair thought;
your beauty is intact. ?
nor shall death Brag Thou Wander 'st in his shade,
Death has no chance to imprison you,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
You will live forever in my eternal poems.
so long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
so long lives this and this gives life to them.
This poem will be immortal and keep your beauty forever.
This poem is imagined with the intention of summer, which is always full of vigor and vitality, just like the poet's friend is in a young period. As a beautiful existence, "you" is far more attractive than summer; Although every kind of beauty will be fleeting, the beauty of "you" will last forever.
