[@jamesverhoff1899]

For me it was "I need no longer write them, though." Back then a lot of people only kept in touch via letters. Once you got more than 20-30 miles apart it was a huge effort to see one another. To stop wasn't just "I'm done with you", it's straight-up "You're dead to me". And the tone being what it is in that line, there's an added "...and I'm perfectly happy with you being dead."

"send a wagon for thy minstrel" What does that verse entail? refusing one's letters would be akin to rejecting a call, but what about before that.

[@Holliswoud]

@@TheZombiesAreComing The implication is when you break up with a partner with whom you were living, and you move out, but don't feel safe to retrieve your precious personal belongings (such as LPs or CD music, collections of which usually get mixed together when moving in with someone, and which in the lyric is represented by a bard😄). So you send a friend to either accompany you, or retrieve the goods for you, to avoid uncomfortable confrontations with the former partner. In addition, you change your telephone number to prevent them contacting you in the most common ways. It's the actions of someone who very much wants nothing to do with you at all any more. But in 'his' view, he wasn't so bad that 'she' should have had such a strongly negative rejection of him once they broke up.
