Sonnet 18

Sonnet 18

You’re lovelier and milder. 
Rough winds Shake the pretty buds of May, 
And Summer doesn’t last nearly long enough.
Sometimes the sun shines too hot, 
And often Its golden face is darkened by Clouds.
And everything beautiful stops Being beautiful,
Either by accident or Simply in the course of nature. 
But your Eternal summer will never fade, 
Nor will You lose possession of your beauty, 
Nor Shall death brag that you are wandering in The underworld, 
Once you’re captured in My eternal verses.
As long as men are Alive and have eyes with which to see,
This poem will live and keep you alive.

William Shakespeare

 

William Shakespeare was a renowned English poet, playwright, and actor born in 1564 in Stratfordupon- Avon. 
His birthday is most commonly 
celebrated on 23 April (see When was Shakespeare born),
which is also believed to be the date he died 
on in 1616. 
Shakespeare was a prolific writer during the Elizabethan and Jacobean ages of British theatre
(sometimes 
called the English Renaissance or the Early Modern Period). 
Shakespeare’s plays are perhaps his most 
enduring legacy, but they are not the only things he wrote. 
Shakespeare’s poems also remain popular to 
this day.
