  5. 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.

  6. 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 delightThan in the breath that from my mistress reeks.I love to hear her speak, yet well I knowThat 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.

  10. Sonnet 30 My love is like to ice, and I to fire:how comes it then that this her cold so greatis not dissolv'd through my so hot desire,but harder grows, the more I her entreat?Or how comes it that my exceeding heatis not delayed by her heart frozen cold,but that I burn much more in boiling sweat,and feel my flames augmented manifold?What more miraculous thing may be toldthat fire, which all thing melts, should harden ice:and ice which is congealed with senseless cold,should kindle fire by wonderful device?Such is the pow'r of love in gentle mindthat it can alter all the course of kind.
