Shakespeare Sonnet 116

Presentation by Justin Ziegler

Let me not to the marriage of true minds,

Admit Impediments.

O no! it is an ever-fixed markThat 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 alters NOT with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of DOOM.

Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks,

Within his bending sickle’s compass come:

If this be error upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man EVER loved.

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 wandering bark,Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.

Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeksWithin 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 upon me proved,I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds,

Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

If this be error upon me proved,

Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle’s compass come:

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

O no! It is an ever fixed mark!

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Admit impediments. Love is not love,
