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’. |
