Hoklo Shakespeare

William Shakespeare - Sonnet #18

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 oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.



Kám thang kā Lí pi-chòe Joa̍h-thiⁿ 1 ji̍t?

Translation:

1. Let's take a walk! I'm so glad you suggested that. Where shall we go? Let's go to the East, where the moon can shine on us. We came up with the same idea!

2. Let's go let the cows out to graze! I'm glad you said that. Where shall we go? Let's go to the West, toward the cool shade of the trees. We came up with the same idea!

3. Let's go for a stroll! I'm glad you suggested that. Where shall we go? Let's go to the North, where we can take a boat ride. We came up with the same idea!
