Shakespeare's Sonnet 116!.

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,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved

How Do I Love Thee!? (Sonnet 43)
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee!? Let me count the ways!.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace!.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light!.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right!.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise!.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith!.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints!. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death!.
