Because Shakespeare wrote a poem about him. Which is kind of true since we still read the poem even if we aren't exactly sure who it is about. (Could be Henry Wriothesley who we would otherwise have forgotten all about.)
Shakespeare claims that the object of his sonnet in , Shall I Compare Thee to a Summers Day, will be immortal because of the written word. His beloved's summer will continue as long as there are people alive to read the sonnet.
This is the first line of Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare suggests that the memory of beauty will be immortalized in the sonnet. (see related question)
Shakespeare ensures that the object will be forever in human memory, saved from the oblivion that accompanies death. He achieves this through his verse, believing that, as history writes itself, his object will become one with time. The last lines reaffirms the poet's hope that as long as there is breath in mankind, his poetry too will live on, and ensure the immortality of his muse.
The normal syntax would be to place the verb before the object: "all prefiguring you". But for the sake of the rhyme, Shakespeare has reversed the verb and object resulting in "all you prefiguring". The meaning is the same.
In Sonnet 18 William Shakespeare compares the young man he is writing about (probably Henry Wriothesley - though other identifications are possible) to a Summers Day. Bill thinks Henry is even better than a Summers Day:- for one thing, Henry never rains.

Probably Shakespeare.The description of the mistress is consistent with detail elsewhere in the Sonnets and there is good evidence that the latter are essentially autobiography. For more on this concept read The Biography in Shakespeare's Sonnetsat the link below.
The mistress in Sonnet 130 is portrayed in an unconventional way for the time, as the poet does not use traditional flattering language to describe her beauty. Instead, he opts for a more realistic and satirical approach, highlighting her natural flaws and imperfections. This makes the sonnet stand out from traditional love poems that typically idealize the object of affection.
The secret is in the last two lines. So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. The poet, a certain William Shakespeare, has written the sonnet to a handsome youth of his acquaintance praising his good looks. He finishes the poem by saying that as long as the human race survives, the poem will ensure that the youth is immortalised in print.
Both Sonnet 29 and Sonnet 130 adhere to the Shakespearean sonnet structure, which consists of 14 lines written in iambic pentameter with a rhyme scheme of ABABCDCDEFEFGG. They also explore themes of love, beauty, and the complexities of relationships in a strikingly honest and introspective manner. Additionally, both sonnets use literary devices such as metaphors, similes, and imagery to express the speaker's emotions and sentiments.
His second best bed.
Shakespeare wrote it so he is the speaker, as a man to the object of his love.
i think it is an old word for "sex object" used in Shakespeare's time.....not fully sure though.
