    When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
    I all alone beweep my outcast state,
    And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
    And look upon myself and curse my fate,
    Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
    Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
    Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
    With what I most enjoy contented least;
    Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
    Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
    Like to the lark at break of day arising
    From sullen earth sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
    For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
    That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

    Nice! The delivery was excellent. I have seen people perform Shakespeare in a way that can make the lines sound kind of cliche. It seemed like you very acutely determined an appropriate emotion or intonation for each line, to make the poem fully come alive as a theatrical scene or monologue. I’ll gladly watch you recite more Shakespeare and also more literature, poetry, fiction and theater in general!

      What a good comment. Expresses so clearly what I felt and couldn’t grasp with precision. Thank you @PromptStreamer
