I think it is not really a compare exercise between a summer day and a person, this is too teachery. Lets face it the bard is talking about sex and passion, he has failed to get his end away and shake the the darling buds in the heat of passion. The central quatrain refers to the watching heaven and suggests it is okay even for the fair to fall (into sin), she not going to death/hell, but in the end the only life passion she will get to live is in this verse as men know passion. D- for teacher
"evening fair" ???
no -- the word Shakespeare used is EVERY, not EVENING - must use the correct words if you want to "analyze" the poem..... :-(
