Reread the first six lines of the sonnet. If the first line is identified as "a" in the rhyme scheme, how should the

remaining lines be identified?

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 dimmd,
