Sonnet 18
Bessy: We must read with our
William Shakespeare eyes.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? (After the reading)

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 dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;

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 grow’st;

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

Class, kindly read the first stanza.
(After reading) What figure of speech did
the poet present?
Correct. Metaphor is a figure of speech in
which makes an implicit, hidden
comparison between two things that are
unrelated but share some common
characteristics.
Very good! So, why is the poet unwilling
to compare his lady love with summer’s
day?
Very well said. So let’s go to the next
stanza. ( after reading)
Class, what is the eye of heaven?
What qualities that his lady love has more
than the qualities of a summer day?

(Students will read in chorus)

quickly and just too hot.

eventually fades away but his lady love’s
beauty will never go away.

through the words of the poem.

TEACHERS’ ACTIVITIES STUDENT’S ACTIVITIES
So, the general theme of the Sonnet 18 is that
what is written about in poetry is eternal –
specially in this poem, Shakespeare is
admiring a woman, and saying that her
beauty will never fade because he is putting it
in verse. He begins by comparing her to
summer day, and then saying she is much
more beautiful. He continues comparing the
details of the summer day to his subject
showing how she is much fairer. He ends the
poem by focusing on the subject, her beauty,
and her qualities which will be made eternal
by poet putting them into general.
