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.
The Plays and Poems of William Shakespeare (ed. 1790)
