What is the poem that Robert Dudley quotes from in film Elizabeth?

In the film "Elizabeth," Robert Dudley quotes from Shakespeare's Sonnet 116.

The specific lines he quotes are:

"Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove."

These lines are spoken by Dudley to Elizabeth after their secret meeting, and he uses them to try and convince her that their love is true and unbreakable, despite the obstacles they face.
