In the poem, Shakespeare mentioned
“Not marble, nor the gilded monuments / Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;"
This means that with time the marble, statues and monuments will not be present in the future but the poem will.
Sonnet here is based on the theme of Horace that is considering the monuments to the dead.
It is an idea of immortality through verse.
