Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sonnet 8Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy: Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly, Or else receiv'st 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: Whose speechless song being many, seeming one, Sings this to thee: 'Thou single wilt prove none.' |

You're as delightful as music to listen to yourself, so why are you so melancholy when you listen to music? Delightful things normally go well together: why do you like music when it makes you sad, then – or else, why are you willing to entertain something that you don’t like?
If you find the well-tuned and matched chords of the music irksome, it’s because they’re reprimanding you for not matching yourself. Listen how the chords and notes together sound like a happy family, with father, mother and child, all taking up the same tune.
Their united song and message to you is: “By staying single, you’ll come to nothing.”
