Sonnet 8
b'
Music to hear, why hear\\u2019st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy.
Why lov\\u2019st thou that which thou receiv\\u2019st not gladly,
Or else receiv\\u2019st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to another,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
Resembling sire, and child, and happy mother,
Who all in one, one pleasing note do sing:
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Whose speechless song, being many, seeming one,
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Sings this to thee, \\u201cThou single wilt prove none.\\u201d
