Pastime with good company

    
1. Pastime with good company 2. Youth must have some dalliance, 3. Company with honesty
I love and shall until I die. Of good or ill some pastance; Is virtue, vices to flee;
Gruch who lust, but none deny; Company methinks then best Company is good and ill,
So God be pleased, thus live will I; All thoughts and fancies to digest. But every man hath his free will.
For my pastance, For idleness The best ensue,
Hunt, sing and dance; Is chief mistress The worst eschew,
My heart is set To vices all: My mind shall be;
All goodly sport Then who can say Virtue to use,
For my comfort: But mirth and play Vice to refuse,
Who shall me let? Is best of all? Thus shall I use me.
