Answer:
The line "of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme" is from "Shakespeare’s Sonnet 55". In literary terms, it means marble or gold-plated shrines of princes will not be able to outlive poetry. Time is invincible. What is considered great today may not remain the same after a certain period of time. The poet stresses on the weight that time holds over everything. He says that with time, the gold and marble monuments of fame will disappear but it is the memory of the poem that will stay forever.
