It was one of his most popular madrigals, as well as one of The most internationally famous songs of The period. It is apparently based on John Dowland’s “Flow, my Teares”. Like Dowland’s lyrics, These lyrics express an intense melancholy of someone whose happiness has been abruptly shattered and desires to not be saved from this dark despair. The speaker wishes his death by drowning in his despair, in his tears. The expression of melancholy, and notions of darkness, neglect, Time’s cruelty, spiteful age, were Themes used by Elizabethan songwriters to prefigure The stark inevitability of death, and it remained a prominent feature of English literature and music in The time of Elizabeth I and Shakespeare.
