Question

How many stanzas does this poem have? 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.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Four-line stanzas

Explanation:

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" is a poem by William Shakespeare.

It contains fourteen lines: one stanza of three quatrains and a couplet. A Shakespearian work has an end rhyme plot, where the first and third lines of every quatrain rhyme just as the second and third and the last couplet rhymes as well. This kind of sonnet utilizes a volta, or mood change, in the third quatrain.
