Sonnet 14 by Shakespeare

Shakespeare's Sonnet 14 is another of his procreation sonnets, this one featuring the speaker declaring that he has the power to predict the future, but he does not do so by reading the stars or anything of the like, and he does not predict disasters or how well a prince will rule. He takes his knowledge from the eyes of the poem's addressee, and from them he predicts that his death is in fact the death of Beauty itself.
