discord in the spheres: the discord in the music of thespheres or planets. According to the classical astrono-my,the earth was the centre of the universe,and theseven planets (the Moon,Mercury,Venus,the Sun,Mars,Jupiter,and Saturn),in their revolving aboutthe earth,each emitted a different musical sound (in-audible to human ears),all together producing a heav-enly harmony,known as the “music of the spheres.”天体音乐的不和谐。据古希腊罗马的天文学说，地球为宇宙的中心，七个星球(月亮、水星、金星、太阳、火星、木星、土星)在围绕地球旋转时，各自发出一种乐曲（人的耳朵无法听见），共同合为一种和谐的天上音乐，即“天体的音乐”。
△As.2.7.5:“If he,compact of jars,grow musical,/We shall have short-ly discord in the spheres.”以他那样充满不和谐（好争辩）的人，居然变得爱好起音乐来，那么不久天体旋转时也要奏出不和谐的调子来了。
