Sonnet 116:
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand rping bark,
Whose worth s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love s not Time s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov d,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov d.
