Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediment;love is not love
Which alters when 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 wandering 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 edge of doom.
    If this be error and upon me proved,
   I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
