Which line from this sonnet contains a metaphor? Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines Thou art more lovely and more temperate Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see

Eye of Heaven.  This is a metaphor that refers to the sun.  The phrase "too hot the eye of heaven shines" means the heat of the sun is too much.  The symbolism is relative to the sun being round with rays that look like an eye and heaven refers to something in the sky that you look up to.

Answer:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines

Explanation:

A metaphor is a hidden comparison between two things. Unlike a simile, a metaphor does not use words like and as.

The first line compares the sun to the 'eye of heaven'. But it does not say 'the sun is like the eye of heaven'. It just uses this phrase instead of the word 'sun', making the comparison implied.
