Past Time With Good Company

Past time with good company
I love, and shall until I die
Grutch who lust, but none deny
So God be pleased, thus live will I
For my pastense
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 then 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, vices 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,
Thus shall I use me
