Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

                        TO HIS LOVE
　　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 ow'st;
　　Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
　　When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
　　So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
　　So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
　　孙大雨先生译文：
　　我可否将你比作初夏的清晖？
　　你却焕耀得更可爱，也更温婉；
　　狂风震撼五月天眷宠的嫩蕊，
　　孟夏的良时便会变得太短暂。
　　晴空里赤日有时光照得过亮，
　　它那赫奕的金容会转成阴晦；
　　被机运或被造化变迁所跌宕，
　　任何美妙的形象会显得不美。
　　但你这丰华的永夏不会衰颓，
　　你不会丧失你这无比的修好；
　　死亡不会夸，你在它影下低回，
　　有这些诗行将你的韶光永葆：
　　只要人们还活着，眼睛还能看，
　　这首诗便能栩栩赋与你霞丹。
