Sonnet 18
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:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
I don’t know you If you want the answer to be in Chinese or English, please translate it yourself. If not, come to me. .
1. The format of Shakespeare's Sonnet is all the same, with 4 lines in a section, and the last two lines answer an argument raised at the beginning.
2. Shakespeare uses summer and flowers to compare his (Henry Wriothesley) beauty, but he explains that summer will not always be beautiful, nor will it last forever. The purpose of praising summer is to say at the end that he is better than Henry Wriothesley. Summer is better because its beauty lasts forever.
3. (I think this question is very SB...) Because Shakespeare is very pretentious (don’t write this paragraph), he thinks that nature cannot last forever, but he is a poem but can last forever. . .
4. Do this yourself. . . .
