Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEEFEFGG| Not marble nor the gilded monuments | A |
| Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme | B |
| But you shall shine more bright in these contents | C |
| Than unswept stone besmear'd with sluttish time | B |
| When wasteful war shall statues overturn | D |
| And broils root out the work of masonry | E |
| Nor Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn | D |
| The living record of your memory | E |
| 'Gainst death and all oblivious enmity | E |
| Shall you pace forth your praise shall still find room | F |
| Even in the eyes of all posterity | E |
| That wear this world out to the ending doom | F |
| So till the judgment that yourself arise | G |
| You live in this and dwell in lovers' eyes | G |
