This poet writes "[we] have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise" in a work that begins, "When in the chronicle of wasted time / I see descriptions of the fairest wights, / And beauty making beautiful old rhyme" In one work this poet famously asserts, "my nature is subdued / To what it works in, like the dyer's hand." The speaker of another poem says the reader can see in him "that time of year" when yellow leaves "hang upon those boughs which shake against the cold, / Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang." This poet asserts that neither Mars nor "war's quick fire shall burn / The living record of your memory" in a poem that begins, "Not marble, nor the gilded monuments / Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme." The speaker of one of his poems comments, "Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines" and ends with the assertion, "So long as men can breath, or eyes can see, / So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." "The Fair Youth" and "The Dark Lady," for 10 points, are recurring figures in the poetry of this man who asked, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day" in one of his sonnets.
