arriage 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,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
我决不令真正灵魂的婚姻
受到阻碍；爱不是爱，
若一见变故便变化，
或一遇波折便离开。
哦，不。爱是永恒不移的塔标，
见证风暴却永不动摇；
是每一艘漂泊之船的指引之星，
它的价值无可估量，虽然高度可以测算。
爱不受时光的播弄，尽管玫瑰色的唇和双颊
难逃岁月镰刀的毒手；
爱不因瞬息岁月而改变，
而是承受光阴流逝直到末日尽头。
倘若这些是错的，并向我证实了，
则我从未写过，世人也从未爱过。
