If you are going to only read some of the poem it should be made clear to the audience that the reading cover only part of the poem. Otherwise it is unfair the the listener.

“Chairman, Ministers, today I've repeatedly heard how irrelevant my department has become. *"Why do we need agents, the 00 section? Isn't it all rather quaint?"* Well, I suppose I see a different world than you do and the truth is that what I see frightens me. *I'm frightened because our enemies are no longer known to us.* They do not exist on a map. They're not nations, they're *individuals.* And look around you. Who do you fear? Can you see a face, a uniform, a flag? No! Our world is not more transparent now, it's *more opaque!* It's in the shadows. That's where we must do battle. *So before you declare us irrelevant, ask yourselves, how safe do you feel?* Just one more thing to say, *my late husband was a great lover of poetry,* and, em, I suppose some of it sunk in, despite my best intentions. *And here today, I remember this, I think, from Tennyson...”* -M, Skyfall
