Sonnet 116


    Oh no! It is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.
It is the start to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

     Sonnet 116 is about how true love is constant.  This passage from Sonnet 116 refers to how love is fixed like the North Star.  It also tells how it is the star to every wandering bark, or ship, meaning that love guides you when you don't know where to go.  And, lastly, it tells that you can never measure true love's worth, for it does not have a price.
