¶Liedtext

Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly? Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy: Why love'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly, Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy? If the true concord of well-tun'd sounds By unions married do offend thine ear, They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds In singleness the parts that thou should'st 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; Whose speechless song being many, seeming one, Sings this to thee, "Thou single wilt prove none." ''William Shakespeare (Sonnet VIII)''
