Answer:

Like many other sonnets, Sonnet 18 contains a volta, or turn, where the subject matter changes and the speaker shifts from describing the subject's beauty to describing what will happen after the youth eventually grows old and dies. "Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade," Shakespeare writes.
