1 Let me not to the marriage of true minds 2 Admit impediments. Love is not love 3 Which alters when it alteration finds, 4 Or bends with the remover to remove. 5 O no! it is an ever-fixed mark 6 That looks on tempests and is never shaken; 7 It is the star to every wand'ring bark, 8 Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. 9 Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks 10 Within his bending sickle's compass come: 11 Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, 12 But bears it out even to the edge of doom. 13 If this be error and upon me proved, 14 I never writ, nor no man ever loved. |
