Test: SAT II Literature
1 Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
2 Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
3 Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
4 And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
5 Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
6 And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
7 And every fair from fair sometime declines,
8 By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
9 But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
10 Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
11 Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
12 When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;
13 So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
14 So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
| 1. | In line 13, the "eyes" that "can see" are very likely envisioned by the speaker to be used for __________. |
admiring his or her beloved's beauty
reading his or her poetry
fumbling in the dark of death's shade
watching the changing seasons
enjoying the summer sun, however brief
