About

Sonnet 16, in the group of seventeen “procreation sonnets”, continues the argument that the beauty of the Fair Youth must be preserved through having children, although art, specifically Shakespeare’s own poems, is another means to achieve immortality. However, nothing will compare with the children...

Sonnet 16 Annotated

But wherefore do not you a mightier way
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?
And fortify your self in your decay
With means more blessed than my barren rhyme?
Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
And many maiden gardens, yet unset,
With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers,
Much liker than your painted counterfeit:
So should the lines of life that life repair,
Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen,
Neither in inward worth nor outward fair,
Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
To give away yourself, keeps yourself still,
And you must live, drawn by your own sweet skill.
