Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, • 6. And often is his gold complexion dimmed, • 7. And every fair from fair sometime declines, • 8. By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: • 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.
