Le Sonnet 15 est l'un des 154 sonnets écrits par le dramaturge et poète William Shakespeare.
Texte original Texte et typographie originale : WHen I conſider euery thing that growes Holds in perfection but a little moment. That this huge ſtage preſenteth nought but ſhowes Whereon the Stars in ſecret influence comment. When I perceiue that men as plants increaſe, Cheared and checkt euen by the ſelfe-ſame skie: Vaunt in their youthfull ſap,at height decreaſe, And were their braue ſtate out of memory. Then the conceit of this inconſtant ſtay, Sets you moſt rich in youth before my ſight, Where waſtfull time debateth with decay To change your day of youth to ſullied night, And all in war with Time for loue of you As he takes from you, I ingraft you new.
