Q.5 Analyze the following poem stylistically: 14
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperature
Rough winds do shake the daring 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 conrse untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thon
Nor shall death brag thon wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thon grow'st.
So long as men can breathe; or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
