Sonnet 15 and Iambic Pentameter

sak868 asked: "when you read shakespeare, are you supposed to read it a certain way or does it naturally fall into a beat?" Here is the text of the sonnet, so you can follow along if you like. William Shakespeare's Sonnet 15 "When I consider everything that grows Holds in perfection but a little moment, That this huge stage presenteth naught but shows Whereon the stars in secret influence comment; When I perceive that men as plants increase, Cheered and checked even by the selfsame sky, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, And wear their brave state out of memory; Then the conceit of this inconstant stay Sets you most rich in youth before my sight, Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay To change your day of youth to sullied night, And all in war with Time for love of you, As he takes from you, I ingraft you new."
