Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou ______ more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake ______ darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all ______ short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of ______ shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And ______ fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's ______ course, untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
______ lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall ______ brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal ______ to time thou growest;
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and ______ gives life to thee.
