From the Paper:

"In line two, "form another" means to reproduce. Shakespeare continues to make the point throughout the poem that the young man should have children because he is so handsome and his children would be attractive. He says that this is the way for the young man to preserve ("repair") his good looks by passing them on to another generation. In this poem, "beguile" means to cheat or deprive someone of their rights. So to "beguile the world" is to cheat the world. This must have been a very handsome young man."
