Shakespeare Sonnet 11.
Shakespeare penned 154 sonnets that were included in his 1609 'quarto'. These sonnets delve into themes like the flow of time, death, affection, aestheticism, unfaithfulness, and envy. The initial 126 sonnets are dedicated to a young male, while the final 28 are directed towards an enigmatic 'dark lady'.

In Sonnet 11, Shakespeare underscores that just as art is crafted by hands, the young man should use his fleeting beauty wisely by procreating, thereby heeding nature's design and ensuring his legacy before time erodes his prime.
