This song is published in the Noah Greenberg book:
    An Anthology of English Medieval and Renaissance Vocal Music.
W.W. Norton Publishers.  The original was by William Cornysh (d.1523) who was a
composer and poet in the court of Henry VIII.

It is one of my very favorite songs. The book has the music arranged for three
tenors.
