Why should I not admit impediments
When I speak of the marriage of true minds?
Could one recall love's many elements
While alterations he so eas'ly finds?
If love does not with the remover bend
Nor move along a fix'd mark to remove
How swiftly then would tempests greet love's end
As wandering barks a pair of lovers prove.
If time and sickles drive love to the edge
Should love not bend instead of alter not?
But unknown worth is standing on a ledge
While yet to know true worth is worth a lot.
Although I err, it cannot e'er be proved
For I can't write, but once I may have loved...
