Sonnet 18 1. Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? 2. Thou art more lovely and more temperate: 3. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, 4. And Summer's lease hath all too short a date: 5. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, 6. And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; 7. And every fair from fair sometime declines 8. By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd: 9. But thy eternal Summer shall not fade, 10. Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; 11. Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade 12. When in eternal lines to time thou growest: 13. So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, 14. So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Quartet 1 (first four lines): Consider the image Shakespeare builds here. What’s he describing? What time of year is it? What does this time of year symbolize? Quartet 2 (lines 5-8): What image does he describe here? What truth about life is revealed from “every fair from fair sometime declines” (7)? Quartet 3 (lines 9-12): What is the speaker saying about the listener’s “eternal summer (9)”? Rhyming Couplet (lines 13-14): What is “this” (14)? And how can “this” give eternal life to the listener?

Sonnet 73 1. That time of year thou may'st in me behold  2. When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang 3. Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,  4. Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.  5. In me thou see'st the twilight of such day,  6. As after sunset fadeth in the west,  7. Which by-and-by black night doth take away, 8. Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.  9. In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire  10. That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,  11. As the death-bed whereon it must expire  12. Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.  13.  This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, 14.   To love that well which thou must leave ere long. S O A P S Tone

Sonnet 29 – Partner Work Pg. 275 in text book Read Sonnet 29 at least twice aloud with your partner (take turns reading). Check any footnotes or margin notes for extra help with the language. Paraphrase each quartet and couplet of the poem. (You’re not aiming for a word-for-word, but rather a sentence-for-sentence paragraph.) Helpful questions to consider: Where does the tone shift? What seems to cause the shift? Remember that the couplet often changes the direction of a Shakespearean sonnet.
