Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines
Sometimes the sun is far too hot

Whether by chance or by the uncontrollable course of nature
And every fair from fair sometimes declines
And everything that is beautiful eventually loses its beauty

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st
Nor will you lose your beauty
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
But your eternal beauty (or youth) will not fade

Since you shall grow with time through this sonnet
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade
Nor will Death boast that you wander in his shade

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see
