Women's Month | Sonnet 21 | William Shakespeare | Performed by Romy Iris Conroy

It's Women's History Month and From Sonnet to Song are celebrating the beautiful diversity of the women of London through Shakespeare and music. This is Sonnet 21, sung by Romy Conroy. Shakespeare is for everyone! Featuring original music composed by Isabelle Schuler and directed by Martha Reed. So is it not with me as with that Muse, Stirred by a painted beauty to his verse, Who heaven itself for ornament doth use And every fair with his fair doth rehearse, Making a couplement of proud compare With sun and moon, with earth and sea's rich gems, With April's first-born flowers, and all things rare, That heaven's air in this huge rondure hems. O! let me, true in love, but truly write, And then believe me, my love is as fair As any mother's child, though not so bright As those gold candles fixed in heaven's air: Let them say more that like of hearsay well; I will not praise that purpose not to sell.
