This is a famous madrigal by Thomas Morley, based on "So ben mi ch'a bon tempo" by Orazio Vecchi.
This 3-part instrumental arrangement is by Steve Hendricks:

I've recorded it as a trio of two bowlback mandolins (one nylon-strung and the other steel-strung) and mandocello.
"Baroq-ulele" nylgut-strung mandolin
1915 Luigi Embergher mandolin
Suzuki MC-815 mandocello
