“सच्चे प्रेमियों के मिलन में कुछ भी बाधक नहीं’ नामक सॉनेट में विलियम शेक्सपियर ने ‘सच्चे प्रेम’ विषय पर अपने निजी विचार प्रकट किये हैं। यह कवि द्वारा लिखित सॉनेटों में से 116 वां है। कवि का कथन है कि यदि प्रेमीजनों का प्यार सच्चा है तो उनके मिलने में कोई भी तत्व बाधक नहीं हो सकता। कवि के अनुसार वह प्रेम सच्चा नहीं है जो किसी अन्य विकल्प को पाकर बदल जाय। सच्चा प्रेम समय की गति के साथ बदलता नहीं। वह प्रेमियों के लिए उनका मार्ग दिखाने वाला तारा है। शारीरिक सौन्दर्य तो काल की गति के साथ नाश को प्राप्त होता है परन्तु प्रेम प्रेमियों के हृदय में रहता है। अन्तिम युगल पंक्ति (दोहा) में शेक्सपियर कहता है कि यदि सच्चे प्रेम के विषय में उसकी उक्ति या उसके विचार गलत सिद्ध हो जाये तो समझिये कि उसने कविता लिखी ही नहीं (अर्थात वह अच्छा लेखक नहीं है) अथवा इस भूतल पर किसी ने प्रेम किया ही नहीं है।
