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; Whose
speechless song, being many, seeming one, Sings this to thee, 'Thou
single wilt prove none.'
