Listen "Shakespeare's Sonnet 94"
Episode Synopsis
Shakespeare is concerned his lover is cheating again...Our story continues with a somewhat romantic trip to Vauxhall gardens.Sonnet 94They that have power to hurt and will do none,That do not do the thing they most do show,Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow:They rightly do inherit heaven's gracesAnd husband nature's riches from expense;They are the lords and owners of their faces,Others but stewards of their excellence.The summer's flower is to the summer sweetThough to itself it only live and die,But if that flower with base infection meet,The basest weed outbraves his dignity:For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
