Answers
1. The princes and rulers get their monuments and statues built in order to immortalize themselves.
2. The poet feels his friend will live forever in lovers' eyes till the Judgement day. The memory of his noble deeds preserved in the rhyme will be passed from one generation to another, thus keeping his friend alive forever.
3. According to the poet art and poetry will outlive monuments and statues. Poetry and art are immortal and eternal as they continue to live from one generation to another in the form of books and memories dispersed in different parts of the world. The essence of life values, wisdom, and beauty, like indestructible soul, lives in finer forms such as thoughts, emotions and words, which cannot be destroyed by wars. So the poetry and art like energy live on forever unaffected by the devastating and hostile forces of nature and deadly engines of war.
4. It is quite true time and war can destroy everything, but not poetry and art. Many gory wars have been fought in the world since the beginning of civilization. Towns, cities were destroyed in those wars. However, the art and poetry have survived those wars. For example holy scriptures, rare manuscripts of great poets and writers, paintings, sculptors, etc still stand erect unto this day. Wars could not destroy these beautiful creations. Nor could war destroy the memories of those artists who created those beautiful pieces of art. Art and poetry are eternal so are the memories of those who created beautiful creations. Poetry and art are immortal in the sense that they continue to live from one generation to another in the from of books and memories scattered in different parts of the world. However, buildings, statues, and gilded monuments are fixed on a particular place. Owing to their large size and immovability, they become an easy target of enemy artillery and cannons during war. But art lives on forever in the memories of people who dying hand them over to the next generations.
