The tone expresses confidence and strong conviction. The Bard is so certain that real love endures despite the many obstacles that cross one's path during one's lifetime, that he states that if he's wrong about this he was never a writer and "no man ever loved." The tone is also somewhat didactic because he is making a strong statement and seems to want people to take note that infatuation that fizzles out or love that isn't committed isn't true love.  more
