Sonnet – 116
William Shakespeare
![Page 2: Sonnet 116 William Shakespeare - KEA | Home](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012423/61781a3a6ea6a447201fc013/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
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:
![Page 3: Sonnet 116 William Shakespeare - KEA | Home](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012423/61781a3a6ea6a447201fc013/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Oh 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.
![Page 4: Sonnet 116 William Shakespeare - KEA | Home](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012423/61781a3a6ea6a447201fc013/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
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.
