Sonnet 67, by NY Shakespeare Exchange

Ah! wherefore with infection should he live,
And with his presence grace impiety,
That sin by him advantage should achieve,
And lace itself with his society?
Why should false painting imitate his cheek,
And steal dead seeming of his living hue?
Why should poor beauty indirectly seek
Roses of shadow, since his rose is true?
Why should he live, now Nature bankrupt is,
Beggared of blood to blush through lively veins?
For she hath no exchequer now but his,
And proud of many, lives upon his gains.
     O! him she stores, to show what wealth she had
     In days long since, before these last so bad.

Sonnet 67, from The Sonnet Project, by the New York Shakespeare Exchange.

The film captures rather well the pathos in the sonnet.  The speaker wonders quite a bit why he continues to live the high life, after all that he has done to her.  She doesn't seem to have much to begin with, and even then he has it all.  There is much more, however, to the unfairness she has experienced.  It isn't just despair, but also bitterness, that overcome her.  Whether art, or beauty, or Nature, none seems to have escaped his plundering bent.  Leigh Williams acts this sonnet rather well, and with her own voice over, she portrays the silence-cum-introspection that the lover has left her with.  Brilliant effort, all around.
