My readings of Shakespeare's sonnets continue.

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"

Here's sonnets 18 and 19 in a reconstruction of early 17th century London pronunciation. Note the rhyme of "blood"/"brood", and the preserved /æ:/ under secondary stress in "temperate".

I included readings in my normal accent for comparison.
