According to the Wikipedia article, the attribution of this song to Henry VIII is not certain "with various parts of the song allegedly lifted from similar pieces in Europe." It was merely in a manuscript that was in use in Henry's court. Another source, author unknown, from a link within that Wikipedia article, posits that Henry VIII took an existing melody and harmonized it. Neither source says what the instrumentation in the manuscript was, so tagging is not possible. The label of "pavan", which the arranger Wiebes gives it, is also not directly (as yet) tied to that manuscript. Tagged as a song for now, with undetermined instrumentation. It is also not known whether that manuscript used English or French lyrics, so the language is left off for now.
