《sonnet 64》此首詩裡，我們首先透過詩人之眼，觀察世間的物換星移，如海洋與陸地相互爭奪領地，而不易毀壞的金屬，也終成了時間永恆的僕役。時間教會詩人的，是一切終將遠去，而他無法逃避死亡所帶來的威脅感。

《sonnet 65》延續著喟嘆時間對世間萬物的破壞力，詩人的使命，是以美來抵禦時間大軍所帶來的荒蕪。而美少年之美—時間之刃的倖存者，是詩人認定的奇蹟，只會在詩句裡閃耀其光芒。

Sonnet 64

1. When I have seen by Time’s fell hand defaced
2. The rich proud cost of outworn buried age;
3. When sometime lofty towers I see down-ras’d,
4. And brass eternal slave to mortal rage;
5. When I have seen the hungry ocean gain
6. Advantage on the kingdom of the shore,
7. And the firm soil win of the watery main,
8. Increasing store with loss and loss with store;
9. When I have seen such interchange of state,
10. Or state itself confounded to decay,
11. Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate:
12. That Time will come and take my love away.
13. This thought is as a death which cannot choose
14. But weep to have that which it fears to lose.

Sonnet 65

1. Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
2. But sad mortality o’er-sways their power,
3. How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
4. Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
5. O how shall summer’s honey breath hold out
6. Against the wreckful siege of battering days,
7. When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
8. Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?
9. O fearful meditation! Where, alack,
10. Shall Time’s best jewel from Time’s chest lie hid?
11. Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back,
12. Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
13. O none, unless this miracle have might,
14. That in black ink my love may still shine bright.
