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; ﺑﻌﺪ ﻋﻦ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻌﻠﻴﻢ ﺍﻹﻟﻜﺘﺮﻭﻧﻲ ﺍﻟﺘﻌﻠﻢ ﻋﻤﺎﺩﺓ Deanship of E-Learning and Distance Education [ ] ﻓﻴﺼﻞ ﺍﻟﻤﻠﻚ ﺟﺎﻣﻌﺔ King Faisal University

Sonnet 18 -continued 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. ﺑﻌﺪ ﻋﻦ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻌﻠﻴﻢ ﺍﻹﻟﻜﺘﺮﻭﻧﻲ ﺍﻟﺘﻌﻠﻢ ﻋﻤﺎﺩﺓ Deanship of E-Learning and Distance Education [ ] ﻓﻴﺼﻞ ﺍﻟﻤﻠﻚ ﺟﺎﻣﻌﺔ King Faisal University
