Note that the rhyme "moment"/"comment" is here pronounced as exact. It would be quite justifiable to pronounce it as inexact in a reconstruction. There is no direct evidence for the short vowel in the former word from this period, and a feminine rhyme has particularly weak evidentiary value of phonetic identity, but such a form will have been produced via trisyllabic shortening under inflection in Middle English, so I chose to use it, especially since shortness has aesthetic point here.
I have for reasons not entirely intelligible to my own self, set myself the task of recording all of Shakespeare’s sonnets in reconstructions of what various types of London English sounded like in the late Elizabethan/early Jacobean period. I'm recording them at a rate of (well, more or less) one every week. Most of them are subscriber-only on my Patreon account. Go ahead and make a pledge there to access them:

I am making just a select few, like this one, publicly available right now.
