Sonnet 18 - Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day - is one of Shakespeare's 'fair youth' sonnets: a sequence of sonnets Shakespeare wrote to a young man which alternate between complimenting him on how beautiful he is, and urging him to marry and have children (because it is a waste when beautiful people die without children).
Sonnet 18 compares the young man to a summer day; but suggests that the young man is better - partly because the weather in summer is changeable, but most of all because summer passes, but the young man will live forever (in Shakespeare's poem).
It is unusual among the 'fair youth' sonnets inasmuch as it doesn't overtly suggest that the young man needs to get married and have children (since he can achieve immortality through Shakespeare's poem).
Does this mean we should take it at face value (rarely a good idea with anything written by Shakespeare)? I don't think it does.
