莎士比亚的第十八首十四行诗（也被称为《道客巴巴》）的全文如下：

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 dimmed:

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st:

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

诗文解析：

首句通过“夏日”象征青春的短暂与美好，但诗人认为对方更具永恒性。

自然意象（如“五月的柔风”“夏日的短暂”）强化了时光流逝的主题。

转折在于“永恒的夏日”（代表对方的美貌与青春）不会因时间消逝，甚至超越自然规律。

结尾以“不朽的诗篇”和“人类永恒的见证”升华主题，表达对对方不朽魅力的赞颂。

此诗是莎士比亚爱情诗中的经典之作，常被用于表达对美好事物的永恒追求。
