莎士比亚十四行诗中最经典的一首是《将爱情比作夏日》。这首诗以夏日为比喻，描绘了爱情的美好和短暂，以及时间的无情和不可逆转。它遵循了英语诗歌的韵律和节奏，每行十个音节，形式上非常经典。
```
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 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 wander'st 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.
```
这首诗表达了诗人对爱人永恒之美的颂扬，以及对其永恒之爱的信念。它被广泛认为是最能体现莎士比亚十四行诗艺术成就的作品之一
