Shakespeare sonnet 18 verbs and auxiliaries

Gianluigi Salin Hello,can someone help me with this sonnet?I need to distinguish verbs from auxiliaries, their different order and distribution.TksGg

If you post your proposed answer here, we can check it and help you with it.

ok tks!

"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

Now you can mark the verbs and auxiliaries. (eg underline the verbs and highlight the auxiliaries)

OK!

Verbs are underlined and auxiliaries are highlighted:

"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

That's great!

I would mark "is" as a verb, not an auxiliary. The clause requires one verb and most grammarians would ascribe an adjective to "Dimmed".
Not is an adverb. It is not a verb.
You missed one verb in the last line.

Tks a lot.
Can you give me a detailed grammatical analysis of the cluases 4, 6, 8 and 10?

Tks

I am not use how you are numbering or counting clauses. A clause is an element of a sentence that has a subject and verb. In modern grammar, participial phrases (in traditional grammar) are also called clauses.

ok sorry, I mean lines, for example line 3:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

Rough winds: subject
do: auxiliary verb
shake:

And (conjunction)
summer's (possessive, noun modifier)
lease (noun, subject)
hath (verb = has)
all too short a date (noun phrase, direct object)

----------------
And (conjunction)
often (adverb)
is (verb)
his gold complexion (noun phrase, subject)
dimm'd; (adjective)

------------

Nor (conjunction)
lose (verb)
possession (direc

Thank you really much.
I have still a doubt on make a paraphrasi (traduction in modern english) of the line 11:

"Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,"

I dont realy understand the meaning of this verse.
