Sonnet 18 - Shall I Compare Thee to a Summers Day?Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?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 dimm'd;And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;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 growest:So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

SONETO N 18William Shakespeare

Se te comparo a um dia de veros por certo mais belo e mais amenoO vento espalha as folhas pelo choE o tempo do vero bem pequeno.

s vezes brilha o Sol em demasia

Outras vezes desmaia com frieza;O que belo declina num s dia,Na terna mutao da natureza.

Mas em ti o vero ser eterno,

E a beleza que tens no perders;Nem chegars da morte ao triste inverno:

Nestas linhas com o tempo crescers.E enquanto nesta terra houver um ser,

Meus versos vivos te faro viver.

Sonnet 29

When, in disgrace with fortuneand men's eyes,I all alone beweep my outcast state

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless criesAnd look upon myself and curse my fate,

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,

With what I most enjoycontented least;

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,Haply I think on thee, and then my state,Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth bringsThat then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Sonnet 29 (Traduo)

De mal com os humanos e a Fortuna,

choro sozinho o meu banido estado.

Meu vo clamor o cu surdo importunae olhando para mim maldigo o fado.

A querer ser mais rico em esperana,

como outros ter amigos e talento,

invejando arte de um, doutro a pujana,

do que mais gosto menos me contento.

Se assim medito e quase me abomino,

penso feliz em ti e meus pesares

(qual cotovia em vomatutino

deixando a terra) ento cantam nos ares.

To rico me teu doce amor lembrado,

que nem com reis trocava meu estado.

SONNET 116

Let me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not loveWhich alters when it alteration finds,Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed markThat looks on tempests and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark,Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeksWithin his bending sickle's compass come:Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.If this be error and upon me proved,I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

(William shakespeare, the bard)

Soneto 116De almas sinceras a unio sinceraNada h que impea: amor no amorSe quando encontra obstculos se alteraOu se vacila ao mnimo temor.

Amor um marco eterno, dominante,Que encara a tempestade com bravura; astro que norteia a vela errante

Cujo valor se ignora, l na altura.

Amor no teme o tempo, muito emboraSeu alfanje no poupe a mocidade;

Amor no se transforma de hora em hora,

Antes se afirma, para a eternidade.Se isto falso, e que falso algum provou,Eu no sou poeta, e ningum nunca amou.

Sonnet 73

That time of year thou mayst in me behold

When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hangUpon those boughs which shake against the cold,Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

In me thou seest the twilight of such day

As after sunset fadeth in the west,Which by and by black night doth take away,Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.

In me thou see'st the glowing of such fireThat on the ashes of his youth doth lie,

As the death-bed whereon it must expireConsumed with that which it was nourish'd by.

This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

Soneto 73

Vs em mim esta poca do ano

Quando poucas ou nenhuma folha amarelecidaNos galhos que tremem ao vento frio,Coros desertos onde os doces pssaros cantavam.

Em mim, vs o crepsculo deste diaAps o naufrgio do sol a Oeste,Que, pouco a pouco, a noite escura afasta,A outra face da Morte, que tudo silencia.

Em mim, vs o brilho deste fogoQue permanece nas cinzas de sua juventude,

Como o leito de morte onde deve expiar,Consumido pelo ardor que o nutria.

Isto vs, que fortalece o teu amor,Para amar o que logo irs abandonar.
