    John Dowland's song "Now o now I needs must part" expresses the sadness of parting from a loved one. It contains three verses where the singer expresses that though they must depart, they will continue to love as long as they live, even if hope is gone. The parting brings them despair and unkindness. They are driven away by sadness as the separation is offensive to them, blaming their loved one for the offense of the departure.

    Dear when I from thee am gone,


    Gone are all my joys at once,
    I loved thee and thee alone
    In whose love I joyed once:
    And although your sight I leave,
    Sight wherein my joys do lie
    Till that death do sense bereave,
    Never shall affection die.
    Sad despair doth drive me hence,
    This despair unkindness sends,
    If that parting be offence,
    It is she which then offends.

    Dear if I do not return,


    Love and I shall die together,
    For my absence never mourn
    Whom you might have joined ever:
    Part we must though now I die,
    Die I do to part with you,
    Him despair doth cause to lie,
    Who both lived and dieth true.
    Sad despair doth drive me hence,
    This despair unkindness sends,
    If that parting be offence,
    It is she which then offends.
