The inscription on Ozymandias's statue reads, "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, / Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" How does the context of the inscription make it ironic? (Points : 5) The inscription exists only in the memory of the traveler. The context of “lone and level sands” shows that the king’s power ended long ago. The inscription is written in an ancient language. The inscription was once clear but is now hard to decipher.
