 \nThou art thy mother's glass and she in theeCalls back the lovely April of her prime;  \nSo thou through windows of thine age shalt see,Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time.But if thou live,remember'd not to be,Die single and thine image dies with thee.  \nIV  \nUnthrifty loveliness,why dost thou spendUpon thy self thy beauty's legacy?  \nNature's bequest gives nothing,but doth lend,And being frank she lends to those are free:Then,beauteous niggard,why dost thou abuseThe bounteous largess given thee to give?Profitless usurer,why dost thou use  \nSo great a sum of sums,yet canst not live?For having traffic with thy self alone,  \nThou of thy self thy sweet self dost deceive:Then how when nature calls thee to be gone,What acceptable audit canst thou leave?Thy unused beauty must be tombed with thee,Which,used,lives th'executor to be.  \nV  \nThose hours,that with gentle work did frameThe lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell,Will play the tyrants to the very sameAnd that unfair which fairly doth excel;For never-resting time leads summer onTo hideous winter,and confounds him there;  \nSap checked with frost,and lusty leaves quite gone,Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness every where:Then were not summer's distillation left,A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,Nor it,nor no remembrance what it was:  \nBut flowers distill'd,though they with winter meet,Leese but their show;their substance still lives sweet.  \nVI  \nThen let not winter's ragged hand deface,In thee thy summer,ere thou be distill'd:  \nMake sweet some vial;treasure thou some placeWith beauty's treasure ere it be self-kil'd.That use is not forbidden usury,  \nWhich happies those that pay the willing loan;That's for thy self to breed another thee,Or ten times happier,be it ten for one;  \nTen times thy self were happier than thou art,If ten of thine ten times refigur'd thee:  \nThen what could death do if thou shouldst depart,Leaving thee living in posterity?  \nBe not self-will'd,for thou art much too fair  \nTo be death's conquest and make worms thine heir.VII  \nLo!in the orient when the gracious lightLifts up his burning head,each under eyeDoth homage to his new-appearing sight,  \nServing with looks his sacred majesty;  \nAnd having climb'd the steep-up heavenly hill,Resembling strong youth in his middle age,Yet mortal looks adore his beauty sti","cbCaiaaMyASTg6UE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaaMyASTg6UE","pdf",3241593,56,"English","# The Sonnets\n## Sonnet I\n## Sonnet II\n## Sonnet III\n## Sonnet IV\n## Sonnet V\n## Sonnet VI\n## Sonnet VII\n## Sonnet VIII\n## Sonnet IX\n## Sonnet X","[{\"question\":\"What central message do the sonnets give about beauty?\",\"answer\":\"The sonnets argue that beauty will decay with time unless it is passed on, so the beloved’s gifts should not be hoarded or wasted.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the speaker urge the addressee to have a child?\",\"answer\":\"Because succession can preserve the beloved’s beauty in posterity, preventing the “image” from dying with the addressee.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the poems portray time and aging?\",\"answer\":\"They describe time as a force that besieges the brow, replaces summer with winter, and turns youth into “tatter’d” ruin unless beauty is transformed through use.\"}]","The Sonnets - read online free | PDF",1791862527,86]
