 Have you ever read sonnets by Shakespeare in English? Here is 130 sonnet.

Sonnet №130

By William Shakespeare


My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; 
Coral is far more red, than her lips red; 
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; 
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses demasked, red and white, 
But no such roses see I in her cheeks, 
And in some perfumes is there more delight 
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. 

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know 
That music hath a far more pleasing sound. 
I grant I never saw a goddess go; 
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground. 

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare 
As any she belied with false compare.

Listen to Alan Rickman reads this sonnet:

  Sonnet №18

 By William Shakespeare
 

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

It's not Alan Rickman, but I think it's good too.
