Time can destroy the physical beauty of a person. According to the poet, true love is not a slave of time. The North Star and ideal love are both beyond human estimation, too high to be measured.

It also remains steadfast like the pole star and the depth of this true love like the full value and potentialities of the guiding star can never be completely known. In the same way, true love guides lovers in the sea of life.

Even the most powerful thing “the time” which destroys everything else has no effect on these things. The sun and the North Star cannot be shaken and destroyed by anything. The sun and the pole star are fixed and eternal in the universe and serve as infallible guides to the wandering ships in the uncharted ocean. In order to prove his point, he equates the everlasting nature of true love to the sun and the North Star. Shakespeare thinks that true love is constant, steadfast and unchanging.
