"From fairest creatures we desire increase, that thereby beauty's rose might never die" was written by which poet?

In William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 1", it is his first sonnet in a group of poems where many are written in iambic-pentameter. The rhyme scheme of ABABCDCDEFEFGG is used. This style of writing is now known as the Shakespearean Sonnet.

In "Sonnet 1", this poem speaks about a man who is beautiful and him having a child ("From fairest creatures we desire increase, that thereby beauty's rose might never die"). Here, the man however doesn't want to have a baby. The young man should not be too self-absorbed to think of procreation. Shakespeare claims that by not having a baby the man is simply growing old. He is not becoming anymore beautiful with time. Shakespeare claims that if the guy has a baby, the child may continue the beautiful and be a tender heir that might bear his father's memory. The child will live on while time and the father's beauty will pass.
