This song is published in the Noah Greenberg book:
<br> <u>An Anthology of English Medieval and Renaissance
Vocal Music.</u>
<br>W.W. Norton Publishers. The original was by William Cornysh (d.1523)
who was a composer and poet in the court of Henry VIII.
<p>It is one of my very favorite songs. The book has the music arranged
for three tenors.
