Shakespeare's Sonnet CVI (Sonnet 106): "When in the chronicle of wasted time"
<p><strong>Sonnet CVI</strong></p><p><br></p><p>When in the chronicle of wasted time</p><p>I see descriptions of the fairest wights,</p><p>And beauty making beautiful old rhyme</p><p>In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,</p><p>Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,</p><p>Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,</p><p>I see their antique pen would have express'd</p><p>Even such a beauty as you master now.</p><p>So all their praises are but prophecies</p><p>Of this our time, all you prefiguring;</p><p>And, for they look'd but with divining eyes,</p><p>They had not skill enough your worth to sing:</p><p>For we, which now behold these present days,</p><p>Had eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.</p>

Shakespeare's Sonnet LV (Sonnet 55): "Not marble, nor the gilded monuments"
<p><strong>Sonnet LV</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Not marble, nor the gilded monuments</p><p>Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;</p><p>But you shall shine more bright in these contents</p><p>Than unswept stone besmear'd with sluttish time.</p><p>When wasteful war shall statues overturn,</p><p>And broils root out the work of masonry,</p><p>Nor Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn</p><p>The living record of your memory.</p><p>'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity</p><p>Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room</p><p>Even in the eyes of all posterity</p><p>That wear this world out to the ending doom.</p><p>So, till the judgment that yourself arise,</p><p>You live in this, and dwell in lover's eyes.</p>

Shakespeare's Sonnet XVII (Sonnet 17): "Who will believe my verse in time to come"
<p><strong>Sonnet XVII</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Who will believe my verse in time to come,</p><p>If it were fill'd with your most high deserts?</p><p>Though yet, heaven knows, it is but as a tomb</p><p>Which hides your life and shows not half your parts.</p><p>If I could write the beauty of your eyes</p><p>And in fresh numbers number all your graces,</p><p>The age to come would say 'This poet lies:</p><p>Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.'</p><p>So should my papers yellow'd with their age</p><p>Be scorn'd like old men of less truth than tongue,</p><p>And your true rights be term'd a poet's rage</p><p>And stretched metre of an antique song:</p><p>But were some child of yours alive that time,</p><p>You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme.</p>
