SONNETSSONNET 18 - William Shakespeare

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 fadeNor 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.

as a guidebook for politicians and rulers.

He believed most people were selfish, fair weather, and corrupt.

He said rulers should not be concerned with what was morally right, but with what was politically effective.

Said lying was o.k. to lead and that rulers are better off feared than loved.
