The song depicts a rural sheep-shearing festival. "It is interesting to note the presence of a piper hired to cheer on the shearers through their labours. That evening, neighbours, friends, and all those who had taken part in the day's shearing would be invited to a hearty meal." (François Laroque, Shakespeare's Festive World, New York 1993, p. 156).
There are 4 parts, of which the text is on the first line; these lines are only labelled with "Canto", "Tenor", etc. But given the collection subtitle "contayning songs of 4. 5. and 6. parts, of severall sorts, and being verse and chorus, is fit for voyces and viols", it seems to be flexible enough that it could be done by 1, 2, or 3 voices with viol(s). However, this is also subject to correction if IMSLP gets an upload of the original collection and the actual parts indicate something different.
