Should I compare you to a summer's day?

Mind you, that would be the greatest mistake

For you don't compare to the buds of May

Never will my words steep to such a state

Sometimes the eyes of heaven shines just right

For your complexion does need some burning

And once from your fair you become declined

The flowers of my heart become untrimmed

See, my eternal summer will not fade

I won't lose possession of my dear heart

Death won't brag, but linger under his shade

And wonder how I broke his scythe apart

Little does Death know I'm the greatest doom

For since birth I've been cursed by a full moon
