  2. Sonnet 55by William Shakespeare A Not marble, nor the gilded monuments B Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rime; A But you shall shine more bright in these contents B Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time. C When wasteful war shall statues overturn, 5 D And broils root out the work of masonry, C Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn D The living record of your memory. E ’Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity F Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room 10 E Even in the eyes of all posterity F That wear this world out to the ending doom. G So, till the judgment that yourself arise, G You live in this, and dwell in lovers’ eyes.
