Answer:
The beauty of the person addressed will outlive all wars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sonnet 55 by William Shakespeare talks about the power poetry has, since as long as the sonnet is read, the person described in the sonnet still lives.
Second Quatrain:
"When wasteful war shall statues overturn" = even when wars will destroy monuments...
"And broils root out the work of masonry," = and battles will destroy stone buildings
"Nor Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn the living record of your memory." = not even Mars' sword of fire (the Roman god of war) will destroy this register of our memory (that is, the present poem).
