A fairy Song by William Shakespeare

Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire!
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green;
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours;
In those freckles live their savours;
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.

Sonnet 116, William Shakespeare

Sonnet 116, One of the world's most readable sonnet in weddings by William Shakespeare. Its a piece of art, undoubtedly one of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets, Sonnet 116 provides a quintessential definition of love. Love, according to this sonnet, does not change or fade; it has no flaws and even outlasts death. The sonnet appeared in Emma Thompson’s screenplay for the film of Sense and Sensibility, and is memorably quoted by Kate Winslet, who played romantic Marianne.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Or bends with the remover to remove:
Which alters when it alteration finds,
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
It is the star to every wandering bark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
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:
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
