It is not right. Iambic pentameter is unstess - STRESS 5 times per line; it should scan like this:

u / u / u / u / u / ( da DAH, da DAH, da DAH, da DAH, da DAH)

Yours scans like this:

Do I compare my love with my mother u/u/u/uu/u

My love is such I can no way repay u/u/u/u/u/

This when we live forever without the devil u/u/u/uu/u/u
