Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain, If with too credent ear you list his songs, Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open To his unmaster’d importunity.

Many a song has won my credent ear.
I read today that men fall in love through their eyes, women through their ears
And certainly I have fallen victim
To pretty words or pretty tunes
Or the slow ascendance of a bass guitar
Or the steady rhythm of a drum.
It’s harder to think of a man I’ve been with who wasn’t a musician
Than to remember those that were. But I love my credent ear
For listening, listing all those songs.
