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 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,
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 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.

A. Recalling
B. Interpreting
- Things that love is not according to Sonnet 116.
- Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove.
- Love's not Time's fool.
- Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks.
- Love 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.
B. Interpreting
Love is forever. It stays the same. Even if it takes to pass through the hardest trials, heaviest burdens and strongest storms, love never changes. It remains to be true and unconditional. Honest and pure. Endless.
C. Extending
The speaker's interpretation of love for me is worth believing. Sonnet's message of what love is, is truly one thing a person knows true.
