What do Shakespeare and Captain Picard Have in Common?

Actor Patrick Stewart, who trained at the Royal Shakespeare Company (here he is as Oberon in Midsummer Night's Dream)  and then went on to play Captain Picard and Professor X, has returned to his Shakespearean roots with a reading of a sonnet every day. 

Sonnet 59 proved to be too much even for him, so he announced that he was just going to jump to 60. Here's the text of Sonnet 59, in case any of you feel like giving him some acting notes. 

The readings can be found on Instagram and YouTube.
