Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Could I compare you to a beautiful day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: You are even better than that.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, The weather is rainy in May
And summer's lease hath all too short a date: And summer ends too quickly
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, Sometimes it is too hot
And often is his gold complexion dimmed, And his body becomes tan
And every fair from fair sometime declines, And beauty sometimes lessens
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: By luck or from age
But thy eternal summer shall not fade, But your eternal beauty will never leave
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, As well you will never loose your personality
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, Death will not torture you
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, When it is your time to depart 
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, As long as people have eyes
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Your beauty will live on and it gives me strength. 

Fun Fact: Though Chaucer died in 1400, more than 600 years ago, he has more than 2,100 fans on Facebook.


Wife of Bath
It is interesting to see the different view points of how people interpreted the story of the Wife of Bath - some women take it as a feminine empowerment story while others may look at it as a unworthy and inappropriate woman. The way one reads this story and who they are can greatly affect what they get out of it.
