Question

What does the ‘weak witness of thy name’ refer to?

Short Note

Solution

“Weak witness” refers to the “pyramids” of stone which are not enough or required to honor the memory of the genius of Shakespeare. He has already built a more impressive and ever-lasting monument through his works (plays and sonnets) which are the witnesses of his memory. Kings and Pharaohs lack this ‘monument’.
