Sonnet VIIIMusic to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy.Why lovest thou that which thou receivest not gladly,

Or else receivest with pleasure thine annoy?If the true concord of welltuned sounds,!y unions married, do offend thine ear,"hey do #ut sweetly chide thee, who confoundsIn singleness the parts that thou shouldst #ear.Mar$ how one string, sweet hus#and to another,Stri$es each in each #y mutual ordering,%esem#ling sire and child and happy mother Who all in one, one pleasing note do sing&Whose speechless song, #eing many, seeming one,Sings this to thee& 'thou single wilt prove none.'
