Suite Anglese Lyrics

I) Ballo anglese, Saltarello
Giorgio Mainerio (1535-1582)
II) Now, oh now I needs must part (1597)
John Dowland (1562-1626)

Now, oh now I needs must part,
parting though I obsent mourne
Absence Can no ioye empart,
love once fled can not returne.
While I live I needs must love,
love lives not when hope is gone,
now at last despayre doth prove,
love devided loveth none.

Sad dispaire doth drive me hence,
this dispaire unkindnes sends.
If that parting be offence,
it is she which then offendes.

III) The frog gaillard
John Dowland (1562-1626)
