probly something by Shakespear
Sonnet 18 is his most popular. It's a matter of opinion whether it is his best.
Sonnet 18- Shall I Compare Thee to A Summer's Day? These four are also some of Shakespeare's most popular sonnets Sonnet 029 - When in disgrace with fortune Sonnet 116 - Let me not to the marriage of true minds Sonnet 126 - O thou my lovely boy Sonnet 130 - My Mistress' eyes
Probably no. 18: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day."
Sonnet XVIII: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day", or Sonnet XCVI: "Let us not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments"
It is impossible to do an objective test of this, but it would probably be fair to guess that his plays Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet (in that order) and his poem Sonnet 18 are his most popular.
William Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 is probably the most popular of his couplets. It is about love in its most ideal form.

A fourteen line lyric poem is called a sonnet. It typically follows a specific rhyme scheme and meter, with popular forms being the Petrarchan (or Italian) sonnet and the Shakespearean (or English) sonnet. Sonnets often explore themes of love, beauty, and mortality.
The most common sonnet forms are the Petrarchan (or Italian) sonnet and the Shakespearean (or English) sonnet. The Petrarchan sonnet consists of an octave followed by a sestet, while the Shakespearean sonnet is composed of three quatrains and a final rhymed couplet.
