William shakespeare poems love poem

Doubt thou that the stars are fire; Doubt thou that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt that I love. - William Shakespeare, Hamlet

That’s by Henry van Dyke, an American author born in 1852. So to call it Shakespeare is off by almost 300 years and a continent.

'Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds"

“No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy..." ― William Shakespeare
