Can some one help me do this home work?

Shakespeare wrote about personal issues that are as important today as they were in his time. Rewrite a Shakespearean Sonnet in modern language.Can some one help me do this home work?
Sonnet 1


From fairest creatures we desire increase,


That thereby beauty's rose might never die,


But as the riper should by time decease


His tender heir might bear his memory.


But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,


Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,


Making a famine where abundance lies,


Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.


Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament


And only herald to the gaudy spring,


Within thine own bud buriest thy content,


And, tender churl, mak'st waste in niggarding.


Pity the world, or else this glutton be,


To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.





My version





Only those with beauty and not hit with the ugly stick should bare child, that way their beauty is preserved. When the parents cark it (die) we will then have something to remember them and their beauty by. But you too in love with your own pretty eye, let your beauty burn out.


You starve us of your beauty when you should be spreading it around for all.


You are your own worst enemy! your the best looking thing this world has seen, the only one whos as beautiful as springtime. Your beauty is a newly grown bud and you let it die before it's grown and allowed to bring you happiness. Your a young man acting like an old scrooge. You waste your beauty by keeping it hiding like a prize for you alone. Share your beauty or you will be known as the greedy pig who hogged his beauty only to take it to the grave.Can some one help me do this home work?
that is a tuff one! Shakespeare seamed to be obsessed with the women's body! his poetry always seams to be sexual, which back when he wrote them was not aloud! sneaky devil(LOL) :)
What do you mean, ';help';? Where is your homework and how can we help? Or do you mean ';do'; your homework?





By the way, to answer somebody else, Shakespeare was not more obsessed with sexual matters than other writers, and it was ';allowed'; (as opposed to ';aloud';) to write about sexuality in his time.
