Past time with good companyI love, and shall until I dieGrutch who lust, but none denySo God be pleased, thus live will IFor my pastanceHunt, sing and danceMy heart is set;All goodly sportFor my comfortWho shall me let?Company with honestyIs virtue, vices to flee;Company is good and illBut every man hath his free willThe best ensueThe worst eschew;My mind shall beVirtue to useVice to refuseThus shall I use me...Past time with good companyI love, and shall until I dieGrutch who lust, but none denySo God be pleased, thus live will IFor my pastanceHunt, sing and danceMy heart is set;All goodly sportFor my comfortWho shall me let?Youth must have some dallianceOf good or ill some pastanceCompany methinks then bestAll thoughts and fancies to digestFor idleness is chief mistressOf vices all; then who can sayBut mirth and playIs best of all?Past time with good companyI love, and shall until I dieGrutch who lust, but none denySo God be pleased, thus live will IFor my pastanceHunt, sing and danceMy heart is set;All goodly sportFor my comfortWho shall me let?Company with honestyIs virtue, vices to flee;Company is good and illBut every man hath his free willThe best ensueThe worst eschew;My mind shall beVirtue to useVice to refuseThus shall I use me...
