(-5[1])The (-5[1])frontispiece of that collection may be based on a portrait of him owned by the Duke of (10[1])Chandos. A poem by this author claims that “Rough winds do (10[1])shake the (10[1])darling (10[1])buds of (10[2])May.” For 10 points, name this author of the sonnet “Shall I Compare (10[1])Thee to a Summer’s Day.” (10[4])■END■
