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 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 proved, |
|
I never writ, nor no man ever loved. |
