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 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, me thinks 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?      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 pastance   Hunt, sing and dance   My heart is set, all goodly sport   For my comfort, who shall me let?      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
