The main metaphor of Sonnet 116 can be found in the second quatrain. " O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark". This mark refers to the North Star which in this period would have guided lost ships ("barks") back home. Love therefore is compared to the North Star as true love will guide one to there 'destination' or destiny.
