Answers
Your answer goes this way.
The poet tells how time will not destroy the powerful rhyme(the poem),though it shall destroy the world's most significant structures He makes comparisons between the poetry and various monuments to sgow how pietry os stronger than these structures.Neither the previous marble nor the gilded monuments meant to be the graves of princes can match the powerful effect of the poem that the poet has written in praise of his young friend. Time destroys everything,Even the great monuments once carefully preserved are tarnished.
Hope this helps..
In this poem, Shakespeare tries to convey the message that nothing in this world can outlive his poetic verses, be it marble or the monuments, that are covered with gold.
The monuments wear away with the passage of time but his poetry written for his friend, will live longer than the stone monument which has been left uncared for.
Next he has contrasted his verses with the ravages of time on monuments. The fighting, wars all overturn the monuments. They get demolished forever and everybody forgets about them after sometime.
But neither Mars, the God of war, nor fire can erase the written memory of his friend’s life. It will continue even after his death.
The future generations will also admire him and he will live in the hearts of people till the doomsday, i.e., the day of the last judgement.
