In which line does the poet use allusion?

Not marble, nor the gilded monuments

Of princes, shall outlive this pow'rful rhyme;

But you shall shine more bright in these contents 1

Than unswept stone, besmear'd with [untidy] time.

When wasteful war shall statues overturn, (5)

And broils 2 root out the work of masonry,

Nor Mars 3 his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn

The living record of your memory.

'Gainst death and all-oblivious emnity 4

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

Even in the eyes of all posterity 5

That wear this world out to the ending doom.

So, till the judgment that yourself arise,

You live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes.


???William Shakespeare
