Farewell is a frequent theme in Renaissance poetry. Clément Marot bids "farewell" to the world, its torments, its "excesses and resentments." Costeley's song presents musical phrases of varying lengths: notation in a regular two- or three-beat measure would be of little use (it should also be noted that the original edition does not include bar lines). We propose a modern notation, with the quarter note as the unit of time, no time signature, and measures that are sometimes unequal depending on the phrasing.
