Shakespeare's Sonnets 27 and 28 in Early Modern English pronunciation

I’ve set myself the task of recording all of Shakespeare’s sonnets in reconstructions of what various types of London English sounded like in the late Elizabethan/early Jacobean period.

I’m recording them at a rate of about one every week. Most are subscriber-only on my Patreon account. Go ahead and make a pledge there to access them:

I am making just a select few, like this one, publicly available right now.

If you'd like to hear this recording without the background music just download the audio file:

For this one I went with a relatively conservative type of speech for the period, preserving the fricative in words like "night", and with fairly low mid-vowels.
