Devouring Time, blunt thou the Lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
The “glad seasons” are spring and summer, while the “sorry” seasons are winter and possibly autumn. The seasons appear to be changing very rapidly here. 
 Shakespeare’s use of these adjectives is an example of  hypallage , or transferred epithet.  It is the people experiencing the seasons, not the seasons themselves, that have the emotions.
