Standard (EADGBE)

 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
