And the Bard had plenty to say about the subject of love - the word appears more than 2,000 times in his collected works! Packed full of timeless reflections on the subject - from the star-crossed devotions of Romeo and Juliet to the witty rhetoric in Much Ado About Nothing - and complemented by fascinating facts about Shakespeare and his works - this Little Book contains some of the most romantic and profound lines ever written in the English language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you,\u003cbr\u003eDid my heart fly at your service.\"\u003cbr\u003eFerdinand - The Tempest, Act 3, Scene 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Did my heart love till now?\u003cbr\u003eForswear it, sight!\u003cbr\u003eFor I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.\"\u003cbr\u003eRomeo - Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Doubt that the stars are fire,\u003cbr\u003eDoubt that the sun doth move his aides,\u003cbr\u003eDoubt truth to be a liar,\u003cbr\u003eBut never doubt I love.\"\u003cbr\u003eHamlet - Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo-one has influenced the modern rom-com genre as much as Shakespeare. Perhaps the Bard's most influential romantic comedy is Much Ado About Nothing, the timeless tale of sworn enemies who become lovers. Countless pop-culture pairings owe a debt to the play, from Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice to the leads in When Harry Met Sally and Something's Gotta Give.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShakespeare's best-loved sonnet, \"Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?\", touches on the themes of unattainable love and mortality.
