The presence of a repeat sign in the original print makes it clear that the section must be repeated, notwithstanding only one set of words. And it's such a powerful line that it's repetition very much emphasises the meaning of the song. And as an aside, why would the solo versions contain divisions on the third strain if it was only played once? There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that the repeat was intended by Dowland.

I may be taking my life in my hands (in the sense of inviting a deluge of emails), but what the heck. What are people's opinions regarding a repeat in performance of the third section of Dowland's "Flow My Tears"; yes, no, and why?
