"Oh for a muse of fire that would distinguish between the vowels of MEAT & MEET"

One more passage by Shakespeare in a reconstruction of early 17th century pronunciation. This time it's the prologue ("Oh For a Muse of Fire!") and 1st scene from Henry V. The chorus speaks with a more innovative accent than the 2 guys talking in the 1st scene

The image is taken from the 1st Folio

The actual reading starts at 0:32
