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. |
