from memoryalpha:

“In 2366, in order to rescue Lwaxana Troi from DaiMon Tog, Picard recites a string of quotes from Shakespeare’s sonnets as part of his façade. (TNG: “Ménage à Troi”)

“My love is a fever, longing still / for that which longer nurseth the disease” (Sonnet 147). “In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes / For they in thee a thousand errors see, / But ‘tis my heart that loves what they despise, / Who, in despite of view, are pleased to dote” (Sonnet 141). “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? / Thou art more lovely, and more temperate” (Sonnet 18).

It is interesting to note that Shakespeare’s sonnets as a collective represent a ménage à trois that Shakespeare was believed to have been a part of (the young man, the dark lady, and the rival poet). Whether or not this information about the sonnets inspired the title of the episode, “Ménage à Troi,” is unknown.”
