William Shakespeare - 70 - Sonnets-George Rylands et alia

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.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

Recorded by the Marlowe Dramatic Society directed by George Rylands, and read by Rylands, John Barton, Tony Church and Anthony White - civilised and rather old fashioned, but I find these readings highly satisfying. (and hope you will too) Argo ZPR 254/6. Kindly seed.
