      Why does the poet refer to time as being sluttish?

    Answer:

                      Here the word 'sluttish' means dirty or spoiled. Actually, time spoils the marbled or gilded monuments, discolours them, breaks them or makes them dirty through its agents like winds, rain, sunlight, etc. That is why time is called sluttish.
