    In these lines from Sonnet 100 by William Shakespeare, he orders his "muse"to guide him in perfecting his art, in his case his poetry. His muse must get up from resting and assist him to create the best piece of art ever. The meaning of graven is here that time causes wrinkles which are carved in people or things.
