A living monument. [Sonnet LV]
Not marble, nor the guilded monument,
Of Princes shall out-live this powerfull rime,
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Then unswept stone, besmeer'd with sluttish time.
When wastefull warre shall Statues overturne,
And broyles roote out the worke of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword, nor warres quicke fire shall burne:
The living record of your memory.

-- --

Gainst death, and all oblivious emnitie
Shall you pace forth, your praise shall still finde roome,
Even in the eyes of all posteritie
That were this world out to the ending doome.
So till the judgement that your selfe arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lovers eyes.
