Read the stanza from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18." 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:
What is the purpose of these lines?
O to complain about the intense heat and humidity of
summer
O to persuade a loved one to visit during a warm
season
to express love by likening a loved one to a nice day
to argue that hot weather is more pleasant than cold
weather

C). To express love by likening a loved one to a nice day.

Explanation:

The given excerpt is characterized as one of the most popular sonnet sequences of Shakespeare.
