Answer:

Sonnet

Step-by-step explanation:

Sonnet 55 by William Shakspeare is a 14 line peom trust me

1: Not marble, nor the gilded monuments

2: Of princes shall outlive this pow’rful rhyme;

3: But you shall shine more bright in these contents

4: Than unswept stone, besmeared with Slu%$h time.

5: When wasteful war shall statues overturn,

6: And broils root out the work of masonry,

7: Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn

8: The living record of your memory:

9: ‘Gainst death and all oblivious enmity

10: Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room

11: Even in the eyes of all posterity

12: That wear this world out to the ending doom.

13: So till the judgment that yourself arise,

14: You live in this, and dwell in lovers’ eyes.
