They destroy great work of architecture and even gilded monuments. But he says that even time and war will have no effect on his friend. His friend will outlive all other things of the world when he is described in the poet's verses. Thus his memory will live till the day of the Last Judgement.

Answer 2

Hey mate here is your answer......

Shakespeare in his sonnet number 55 describes that time is powerful but it cannot destroy his poetry. The poem teaches that all gold plated monuments built by kings to show their power , wealth and glory are destroyed by time . Whereas the true and beautiful words written by poet in the memory of his friend will live eternal.
