Shelley. The name of the poem is 'Ozymandias'. It should be 'look on my works', not 'look on your works'.

What does the word despair mean in Ozymandias?

The line from the poem reads "I am Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, ye mighty and despair." What Ozymandias intended, no doubt, was to impress all others, even the mighty, with his greatness, so that they would despair, or never have any hope of ever being as great as he was. But time has given the line a new and ironic meaning, for nothing remains of Ozymandias's works except "two vast and trunkless legs", and looking on them, the mighty may well despair, since no matter how great they may be, they can never hope for lasting greatness. Time will, in the end, destroy all their works.
