An oration by James Louis Steed of the 8th of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets published in 1609. This sonnet is the eighth of the author's "Fair Youth" and "procreation" sonnets. Why is the fair youth annoyed by the harmony he sees in families around him? He enjoys music, does he not? Music is more than a single note and a single note is not music. He needs a family with him to witness the tranquil quality of harmony represented by the concept of polyphonic music in this sonnet.
