1.

Pastime with good company

I love and shall until I die

grudge 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

2.

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.

3.

Company with honesty

is virtue vices to flee.

Company is good and ill

but every man has his free will.

the best ensue

the worst eschew

my mind shall be.

virtue to use

vice to refuse

thus shall I use me.

Original manuscript

Composition and lyrics by King Henry VIII (* 1491 – †1547), c. 1513
