Shakespeare’s Sonnet 85

本集是Kai的英国文学分享计划中的莎士比亚板块，本集由Kai用标准英音（King's English）朗诵莎士比亚十四行诗第85首。

My tongue-tied Muse in manners holds her still,

While comments of your praise, richly compil'd,

Reserve their character with golden quill, 

And precious phrase by all the Muses fil'd.

I think good thoughts while other write good words,

And, like unletter'd clerk, still cry 'Amen'

To every hymn that able spirit affords

In polish'd form of well-refined pen.

Hearing you praised, I say "'Tis so, 'tis true,"

And to the most of praise add something more;

But that is in my thought, whose love to you,

Though words come hindmost, holds his rank before.

   Then others for the breath of words respect,

   Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.
