Song from Rufus Wainwright's album "Take All My Loves: 9 Shakespeare Sonnets" 2016 Sonnet 129 Lyrics for Rufus Wainwright's new album
Shakespeare's sonnet 129 sung by William Shatner for Rufus Wainwright's album "Take All My Loves: 9 Shakespeare Sonnets"
The expense of spirit in a waste of shame Is lust in action; and till action, lust Is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame, Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust, Enjoy'd no sooner but despised straight, Past reason hunted, and no sooner had Past reason hated, as a swallow'd bait On purpose laid to make the taker mad; Mad in pursuit and in possession so; Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe; Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream. All this the world well knows; yet none knows well To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.
