16. :- ‘Gainst death, and all oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find
room
Even in the eyes of all posterity
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.

17. :- This stanza does not talk about survival, but of
human appreciation. The poet continues to praise his
subject. There is still a suggestion of survival, but
survival of human appreciation and not of the verse
itself. Doom refers to the Judgment day, suggesting
that this poetic record of his subject will survive and be
praised to the end of time. Slight deviation of the
metre in the words Even in creates emphasis for this
permanency . The poet is saying that death and enmity
destroys everything but poetry written on the subject
will survive , will move ahead, find place and will be
immortalized for all generations to come. Everything
else will be judged on the Judgment Day.

19. Summary
In this poem Shakespeare addresses the qualities of
his beloved. His poetry will immortalise his beloved.
He is sure that his poetry will last longer than the
marble or gold plated monuments and statues and
monuments of big and powerful monarchs and princes.
Thus the image of his beloved portrayed in his poetry
will shine more brightly than the gold plated
monuments. He reiterates that wars and the forces of
nature may affect the ornate monuments and statues,
but cannot destroy his poetry. The recorded memory of
his beloved in his poetry will live till prosterity. In the
last couplet of the sonnet, Shakespeare asserts that
poetry as an art is permanent and therefore poetry
will immortalise his beloved.
