William Shakespeare

“ In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear. ⁠8
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: ⁠12
⁠Whose speechless song, being many, seeming one,
⁠Sings this to thee: 'Thou single wilt prove none.'
1 Music to hear: you whose voice is music
10 mutual ordering: ordered harmony
14 'Thou single wilt prove none'; cf. n. ”
