Sonnet 116 1. This sonnet speaks of a love that defies three things.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds What are these three things? Explain.
English 9 2/3
 Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when 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 worths unknown, although his height
be taken.
Loves not Times fool, though rosy lips and
cheeks
Within his bending sickles 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.
