Step-by-step explanation:

This question is referring to two sonnets published in 1818 and called ''Ozymandias''. The first sonnet is written by Percy Bysshe Shelley and the second one is written by Horace Smith.

Ozymandias was name for the pharaoh called Ramses II. He ruled Ancient Egypt.

  • The effect of the speaker is helping the readers to understand and emphasize that the story is a tale that has been passed to the reader and that there is a message in that story which means that it should be passed from one person to another because of its value.
