Shostakovich. Op. 62; #5. Sonnet 66. Performed by M. MacKinnon and M. Von Eccher.

Sonnet 66 -- William Shakespeare
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry
As, to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And guilded honour shamefully misplaced,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,
And strength by limping sway disabled,
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly doctor-like controlling skill,
And simple truth miscall'd simplicity,
And captive good attending captain ill:
Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.

Recorded in Concert at UBC School of Music, April 3rd, 2011
