Pastime With Good Company |
Pastime with good company, |
I love, and shall until I die. |
Grudge who will, but none deny, |
So God be pleased, thus live will I. |
For my pastance: |
Hunt, sing, and dance, |
My heart is set! |
All goodly sport, |
For my comfort. |
Who shall me let? |
Youth must have some dalliance, |
Of good or ill some pastance. |
Company methinks them best |
All thoughts and fancies to digest. |
For idleness |
Is chief mistress |
Of vices all. |
Then who can say |
But mirth and play |
Is best of all? |
Company with honesty |
Is virtue, vice to flee. |
Company is good and ill |
But every man hath his free will. |
The best ensue, |
The worst eschew, |
My mind shall be. |
Virtue to use, |
Vice to refuse, |
I shall use me. |
