This week's video: Now O Now I Needs Must Part (The Frog Galliard) by Dowland (1563 -- 1626). Thanks so much to this week's wonderful guest stars, Monica Schmidt Andersen on recorder and Sarah Lodico on cello!



Text:

Now, O now, I needs must part,

Parting though I absent mourn.

Absence can no joy impart:

Joy once fled cannot return.

While I live I needs must love,

Love lives not when Hope is gone.

Now at last Despair doth prove,

Love divided loveth none.


Sad despair doth drive me hence,

This despair unkindness sends.

If that parting be offence,

It is she which then offends.
