For other versions of this work, see Sonnet 116 (Shakespeare).
119Let me not to the marriage of true mindesAdmit impediments, loue is not loueWhich alters when it alteration findes,Or bends with the remouer to remoue.O no, it is an euer fixed markeThat lookes on tempests and is neuer shaken;It is the star to euery wandring barke,Whose worths vnknowne, although his higth be taken.Lou's not Times foole, though rosie lips and cheeksWithin his bending sickles compasse come,Loue alters not with his breefe houres and weekes,But beares it out euen to the edge of doome:If this be error and vpon me proued,I neuer writ, nor no man euer loued.
