First Booke of Songes 1597:6. Now O now I needs must part-The Consort of Musicke/Anthony Rooley

[00:00.000] 作曲 : John Dowland [00:00.77]Now, O now, I needs must part, [00:08.09]Parting though I absent mourn. [00:15.11]Absence can no joy impart: [00:22.38]Joy once fled cannot return. [00:29.51]While I live I needs must love, [00:36.69]Love lives not when Hope is gone. [00:43.79]Now at last Despair doth prove, [00:50.88]Love divided loveth none. [00:57.73]Sad despair doth drive me hence, [01:04.69]This despair unkindness sends. [01:11.85]If that parting be offence, [01:19.05]It is she which then offends. [01:26.31]Dear, when I am from thee gone, [01:33.57]Gone are all my joys at once. [01:40.70]I loved thee and thee alone, [01:48.41]In whose love I joyed once. [01:55.69]And although your sight I leave, [02:02.77]Sight wherein my joys do lie, [02:09.77]Till that death do sense bereave, [02:16.89]Never shall affection die. [02:24.18]Sad despair doth drive me hence, [02:31.23]This despair unkindness sends. [02:38.18]If that parting be offence, [02:45.30]It is she which then offends. [02:52.51]Dear if I do not return [02:59.77]Love and I shall die together, [03:07.23]For my absence never mourn, [03:14.78]Whom you might have joyed ever. [03:22.32]Part we must, though now I die. [03:29.58]Die I do to part with you. [03:37.01]Him despair doth cause to lie, [03:44.91]Who both lived and died true. [03:52.20]Sad despair doth drive me hence, [03:59.40]This despair unkindness sends. [04:06.76]If that parting be offence, [04:14.20]It is she which then offends.
